Which brings us to the feature offered by Brave that attempts to strike a balance between user privacy from advertising trackers and the ad-based revenue that websites rely on. This means you can use Brave without worrying about background functions quietly whispering your browsing history to Google. In simpler terms, it goes beyond blocking outside data from getting in, and also blocks inside data from getting out. Being built on Chromium doesn't mean Brave is putting your data back in Google's pocket, however.īrave earns a garland here for stripping Google-specific code out of its own Chromium engine.
Since it's built on Chromium - the same engine that powersĬhrome - you can beef up privacy by adding your choice of extensions to Brave just as easily, and via the same process, as you would Chrome. A single click on the Brave icon on your address bar allows you to see a small menu with simplified toggles that underlie the extensive, customizable security panel in the browser's settings pages. The best part of Brave's privacy suite is that it eliminates this game of broken website whack-a-mole, and makes it faster and less annoying to have a secure browsing experience. For security-minded users, that means we may have to go through an often obnoxious process of disabling each of our security plugins or on-board features, one at a time, until we figure out which one is causing the hiccup. The problem with some browser security features is that they can interfere with a website to such a degree that you can't access the content you came to the site for. Headed to Amazon for a shopping spree? Brave 1.0 can block an array of site cross-trackers.
