Brave
Brave is a privacy-focused web browser based on Chromium, designed as an alternative to Chrome and Safari. It blocks tracking cookies and ads by default, offers a built-in VPN option, protects users from fingerprinting, and integrates with cryptocurrency features including a native cryptocurrency wallet. Brave targets users concerned about privacy, digital surveillance, and data collection, as well as developers who need a modern standards-compliant browser with debugging tools. The browser is available across Windows, macOS and Linux.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionBrave has shipped a native Apple Silicon build since late 2020 and now distributes a Universal Binary as its standard download. The universal build runs natively on M-series Macs and falls back to Intel mode on older Macs—either way, you get the best performance for your hardware without any extra configuration. Download the latest version from brave.com (the official downloads page automatically serves the Universal Binary on Apple Silicon Macs), or if Brave is already installed, check Help → About Brave to trigger an automatic update. Your browsing history, bookmarks, extensions and settings will migrate without any manual steps.
