About Brave
Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. Weâve built a free web browser that blocks creepy ads and trackers by default, a private search engine with a truly independent index, private AI assistant, latest privacy and security features, and a private ad network (opt-in!) that directly rewards you for your attention. And weâre just getting started. Already close to 100 million people regularly use Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.
The internet is a sea of ads, hackers, and echo chambers. Big Tech makes huge profits off our data, and tells us whatâs true and whatâs not. Brave is fighting back. Join us!
