Brave is a relatively new web browser, announced by Mozilla in 2016. The main idea of ​​this project is to make browsing the web more secure. It works on the similarity of the well-known Adblock extension, but in Brave ad blocking occurs without any additions. Let's talk more about the Brave browser: installing it, setting it up for Windows, and uninstalling.

Work with the Brave browser.

Description and functionality

The main feature of this web browser is to block ads on the sites you are viewing. At the same time, as the developers assure, the page loading speed greatly increases. In addition, the ridge of this project is an increased level of security thanks to the HTTPS Everywhere module. However, there are pitfalls here: instead of displaying ads from foreign advertisers, Brave shows its own. They are less intrusive and distracting, but still they are. In the program settings you can choose what to do with advertising: block, change or show. There are also security settings.
