Looking beyond version 1.0, the Brave team plans to implement better sync, with support for tab and history syncing, for example.

For Brave, speed and ad/tracking protection are obviously interconnected, and all the other benefits accrue from that. You want to have all your benefits tied up in a pretty knot and that’s what we have done,” he said. “The way you get users, I think speed is the first one that works across the largest number of users.

That’s also what the company believes will sell it to users. There’s page load time, running the radio to load the tracking scripts that load the other scripts that load the scripts that load the ads, that drains your battery, too.” Eich argues that with Brave, the team found a way to tie this all together with anti-tracking technology and an approach to ad blocking that goes beyond the industry-standard blocklists and also uses machine learning to identify additional rules for blocking.įor those users that really want to be anonymous on the web, Brave also features a private browsing mode, just like every other browser, but with the added twist that you can also open a private session through the Tor network, which will make it very hard for most companies to identify you.Īt its core, Brave is simply a fast, extensible Chromium-based browser. It’s the tracking and the cost of tracking which is multifarious. “But I think ad aesthetics are not the problem. “Everybody’s bothered by the sense of being tracked and bothered by bad ads,” Eich told me. In its early days, Brave actually started with Bitcoin as the currency for this, but as Eich noted, that quickly became too expensive (and because the price was going up, users wanted to hold on to the Bitcoin instead of donating it).īrave also comes with a built-in ad blocker that is probably among the most effective in the industry, as well as extensive anti-tracking features. Users then receive 70% of what the advertisers spend on ads, while Brave keeps 30%.Īs users view these ads, they start earning Basic Attention Tokens (BAT), Brave’s cryptocurrency, which they can keep or give to publishers. Using this system, which not every publisher is going to like, the browser will show a small number of ads as a notification in a separate private ad tab, based on the user’s browsing habits. Most of these are users with small followings on YouTube and Twitter, but large publishers like Wikipedia, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Slate and the LA Times are also part of the ecosystem. Its Brave Rewards program, which requires opt-in from users and publishers, currently has about 300,000 publishers on board. In a browser market where users are spoiled for choice, Brave is positioning itself as a fast option that preserves users’ privacy with strong default settings, as well as a crypto currency-centric private ads and payment platform that allows users to reward content creators.Īs the company announced last month, it now has about 8 million monthly active users.
