Users can choose to opt for Brave Rewards that shows “private ads” and lets users earn BAT (Basic Attentive Tokens) that can be donated to publishers of the user’s choice (Wikipedia, The Guardian, Washington Post etc.) or convert them to “premium content, gift cards and more” in the future. Interestingly, the browser also features what the company calls the world’s first global private ad platform. SEE ALSO: Google Will Soon Start Labeling Slow-Loading Websites on Chrome

It also claims to use 58% less data than Chrome and is more efficient in memory management when compared to both Chrome and Firefox. Because of this, Brave claims that it saves an average of 27 seconds per page load against Chrome on macOS and 22 seconds per page against Firefox. Brave Shield, the browser’s ad-blocking software, is on by default and blocks invasive third-party ads, trackers, and auto-play videos.

The Brave browser is solely built on the foundation of data privacy that is their backbone for offering a faster browsing experience.

The browser has been in beta for nearly four years and has amassed about 8 million monthly active users as recent as last month. Brave, a browser that has finally stepped out of beta, blocks such trackers amongst other things to offer a browsing experience that’s secure and “3-6x” faster than its competitors. Website ads make use of trackers to tie your browsing activities to you and deliver highly targeted ads. Browsing on the internet isn’t as secure as you might think.
