Brave is a free and open-source web browser based on the Chromium web browser and its Blink engine, announced by the co-founder of the Mozilla Project and creator of JavaScript, Brendan Eich. It claims to block website trackers and remove intrusive Internet advertisements. The browser also claims to improve online privacy by sharing less data with advertising customers.

Eich sees the Web as facing a "primal threat" consisting of a growing conflict between advertisers and users—advertisers who have incentives to collect and store detailed and often very personal information about Web users in order to deliver more effective advertisements, and users who are increasingly averse to the collection of their personal information.

Brave is on a mission to fix the web by giving users a safer, faster and better browsing experience – while growing support for content creators through a new attention-based ecosystem of rewards. Much more than a browser, Brave is a new way of thinking about how the web works. Brave is built by a team of privacy focused, performance oriented pioneers of the web.
