About Brave
Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. We’ve built a free web browser that blocks creepy third-party ads and trackers by default, a private search engine with a truly independent index, a browser-native crypto wallet, and a private ad network (opt-in!) that directly rewards you for your attention. And we’re just getting started. Already 110+ million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.
The internet is a sea of privacy-harmful ads, hackers, and echo chambers. Big Tech makes huge profits off our data, and tells us what’s true and what’s not. Brave is fighting back. Join us!
