Brave is advertised as the "browser reimagined". The primary controller of the internet space is ADs. That's something we see in almost everything and this is what Brave is trying to control. They are trying to give back privacy to the users through multiple means. Here are the main features of Brave as a browser: Brave can block data-grabbing ads and trackers. Using Brave Shield, this decentralized browser is able to block things like identification and movement tracking across the web by different websites and ads, allowing you to have the freedom and security to browse. Brave can make your internet browsing theoretically faster by blocking harmful ads and trackers. Upon them testing, Brave can load up major news site to up to 6x faster than other browsers like Chrome and Firefox, on both mobile versions and desktop versions. Brave has a bulit-in ToR browser for more privacy. While other browsers onyl have private modes (which usually makes the user think they're already invulnerable when they use it), Brave browser has Tor in it, that you can use. Tor is very useful at hiding your history, masking your location from the websites you visit by being able to route your activity through multiple servers before reaching your destination. Moreover, these connections have been encrypted to increase your anonymity significantly. Brave helps you browse without censorship and outside influence. They do this by using IPFS, which is a p2p or peer to peer protocol that has been designed to make the internet faster and more open. This has been integrated into Brave. Users can easily access content directly from IPFS by resolving ipfs:// URIs through a gateway or by installing a full IPFS node in just one click. This integration gives users an enhanced surfing experience, while also increasing the availability of content throughout the web, reducing costs from content publishers, and overall improving the resiliency of the internet. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXrgUFkqx669jAvtGAU123xP4kwzkQTyibNMPFS3prnck/image.png) _{Source [Brave](https://brave.com/)} ### Brave's Big Pro

For me, I think both Brave and Firefox are going to the right direction of making user's web browsing experiences more fun, more secure, and faster. Brave currently has the plus points because of integrating a reward system based on a cryptocurrency, which is a very cool thing. To be honest, if Firefox and Brave merges that will be the most badass browser you can use, they should really just settle their differences and make a single browser that could beat them all! * For a complete list of features and pros/cons of Brave and Firefox, I suggest visiting their websites: - https://brave.com/ - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ * # Thanks a lot for reading!
