In recent times it is said that chrome is collecting personal data and using it for company's development. Brave is a free and open-source web browser developed by Brave Software, Inc. based on the Chromium web browser. It blocks ads and website trackers, and provides a way for users to send cryptocurrency contributions in the form of Basic Attention Tokens to websites and content creators.
Brave is developed by Brendan Eich (creator of Javascript and former CEO of Mozilla Corporation) and Brian Bondy. On 20 January 2016, Brave Software launched the first version of Brave with an ad-blocking feature, and announced plans for a privacy-respecting ad feature and a revenue sharing program. In June 2018, Brave released a pay-to-surf test version of the browser. This version of Brave was preloaded with approximately 250 ads, and sent a detailed log of the user's browsing activity to Brave for the short-term purpose of testing this functionality. Brave added support for Tor in its desktop browser's private browsing mode after few days.
According to me Brave is better than chrome. It is better by many ways. I would list out some features which are not in chrome but in brave.
- It has an inbuilt Ad-Blocker - With this feature built in the website would able to load fastly by blocking ads.
- Websites load upto 6X faster than chrome - I used the word 'upto' here because some website may load at different speeds but it would be faster than chrome.
- It has inbuit 'Do not Track' option - Do not track option provides some additional security from website tracking you.
- It supports chrome extensions - You could download all the chrome extensions in brave as it is developed from chromium engine.
- It gives an option to contribute to web creators - It supports a cryptocurrency known as Basic Attention Token (BAT) , you could earn it by viewing privacy respecting ads (It do not show any videos , It shows only websites) and even you could contibute to web developers who are signed up with brave creators.
- Mainly It does not collect your data.
