Brave 1.9.72
Brave is a free and open-source web browser based on the Chromium web browser and its Blink engine. It's available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
With Brave you can browse confidently with default settings that block phishing, malware, and malvertising. Brave Shields blocks ads and trackers by default so you browse faster and safer. Brave even has HTTPS upgrades, which means more of your connections are encrypted, protecting your identity, browsing, payments and more. Brave has Tor support for private browsing, and support for torrent downloads.
Brave Desktop supports most of the Chrome extensions. Brave Sync can be enabled to encrypt and synchronize your preferred settings and bookmarks. By activating Brave Rewards you can give anonymously a little back to the sites you frequent most.
