Optically and in terms of operation, Brave is strongly based on Google Chrome, which makes it very easy to get started. Other important features include:- Brave is an open-source browser that automatically blocks ad trackers and cookies.
- Also, malvertising and popups are not displayed if you don't want them to be.
- HTTP accesses are automatically redirected to HTTPS.
- This means your user data always stays with you. This is made possible by the technology of the Ethereum blockchain, because of which Brave is also called a "crypto browser".
- Nevertheless, there is an incentive to have ads displayed. By enabling "Brave Rewards", you collect "Brave Attention Tokens" (BAT), which you can give to your favorite sites and content creators as a tip.
- The recipients receive the BAT in the browser wallet and can be paid out once a month ("tipping" / tip).
- Since Brave is based on Chromium, you can use extensions from the Chrome Web Store.
