Brave Browser

Brave is a Chromium-based web browser that blocks ads and trackers out of the box, which usually makes pages load faster and use less data. Its Shields feature shows how many trackers and ads it has blocked on each site, and you can tighten or loosen it per site.

It includes a private window with Tor option, synced bookmarks across devices, and an optional rewards program you can ignore entirely.

Who Brave Browser Is For

People who want faster browsing with built-in ad and tracker blocking, and less data use.

Things To Know Before You Install

• Shields block most ads and trackers automatically. You can allow them per site.
• Brave Rewards is optional and off until you turn it on.
• Sync lets you share bookmarks and settings across devices with a sync code.
• It is based on Chromium, so most Chrome sites and behaviours feel familiar.

Where The Download Comes From

Brave Browser is distributed through Google Play, so the download button opens the official Google Play page. That is the safe way to get it: you get the real app, signed by the developer, and it updates by itself. Watch out for copies on other sites that call themselves “mod” or “premium” versions, as those are changed files.
