Brave is an open-source web browser designed to provide a fast, secure and privacy-friendly browsing experience. It is available on a variety of platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
Brave stands out from other browsers with its innovative approach to advertising. It offers a built-in ad blocking feature that eliminates annoying and intrusive ads, thus reducing web page loading time and improving the browsing experience. However, Brave also offers a privacy-friendly ad system that rewards users who choose to see ads with BAT (Basic Attention Token) tokens, a cryptocurrency.
Brave also uses end-to-end encryption to ensure the security and privacy of your browsing data. It also includes features to protect against tracking by advertisers and social networks, as well as an enhanced private browsing mode for maximum privacy.
In addition, Brave is open-source, which means that the source code is available for inspection and contribution from the community. This ensures maximum transparency and allows users to contribute to the development of the software.
In summary, if you are looking for a fast, secure and privacy-friendly web browser, Brave is a great option to consider. It offers built-in ad-blocking functionality, end-to-end encryption for the security and privacy of your data, as well as anti-tracking features and an enhanced private browsing mode. Moreover, being open-source, it offers maximum transparency about its inner workings.

Brave doesn't sounds trustable due to some occurences involving url hijacking. Although it's an old occurence i still don't feel trusting it

Good for people switching from Jewgle Chrome exclusively, bad for anybody that's into children or any meaningful hacking.

Brave seems alright in my opinion, though I definitely would prefer using my usual setup of hardened firefox / TBB. Chromium is definitely bloated though, and I don't exactly trust Brave's shadier history regarding URL hijacking, and heavy affiliated marketing. If you want a very simple and chrome-like experience then Brave might be a good option, but if you have the know-how to do so, setting up a hardened FF profile + various privacy extensions is the objectively better choice.

I have been using Brave recently, and it's ok. If u want something usable that doesn't delete ur cookies every time u close yt or disables JS, it's very good.
