Basic Attention Tokens, or BAT, are like frequent flyer points. When you activate Brave Rewards, the search engine allows you to donate to the sites you visit most often. We're a security-first company, therefore we recommend Brave. Take it for a spin.When Eich first mentioned the model, he called it a “solution” to “give users the fair deal they deserve for coming to the Web to browse and contribute.” In other words, your attention is valuable and should be compensated. The chassis itself is modifiable, where a car purposed for speed and performance may modify the chassis differently than a car targeted for safety-first. The same is true for Brave and Chrome, and any browser taking advantage of the Chromium "chassis".īrave and Chrome share this framework, but Brave modifies it to be a secure privacy browser, while Chrome modifies it to be a big-brother tracking malware magnet.īecause Brave is built on this framework, most of the extensions available to Chrome are also available on Brave. There's no trade-off between usability, features, and security, and if you're migrating from Chrome or Opera (another Chromium-based browser), your transition should be seamless. Two completely different cars that look and perform nothing alike can share the same chassis. They can have different engines, sound systems, and different purposes even though they're built on the same structure. The browser is built on the open-source Chromium project. This is not the same as the Chrome browser itself, but it's built on the same "bones". This confuses some people because their first assumption is that Google's tentacles somehow infiltrates Brave because they maintain the Chromium project. Chromium is simply a framework completely open to the public, like a chassis for a car.

The Brave team knows what they're doing. The project is headed by Brendan Eich, one of the founders of Mozilla, and the creator of JavaScript. The team is not only comprised of some of the smartest people in tech and security, but they're also true innovators.īrave is breaking new ground by advancing the web as we know it. Recently, they integrated with the IPFS, a leap towards a decentralized web. IPFS is a peer-to-peer protocol, essentially circumventing the current web architecture we've been using for the last few decades. It's a relatively young project, but Brave is in at the ground floor. If you use a VPN while surfing with the Tor window, you're pretty much a ghost on the web with Brave's fingerprinting and tracking prevention. Even if you use a VPN without Brave's Tor window, you're still much safer than with the other browsers.
