What to expect

The browser is not the whole of privacy
Brave is a Chromium browser that documents Shields, its ad blocker, and privacy features. Blocking ads by default does not make Brave an anonymity tool.
A tracker blocker does not hide the account you stay signed in to, or the network you use.
Change one setting at a time
Extra features, search and premium services are separate from the blocker. Turn them on only if you have read what they send.
Keep the old browser until you have checked the bank, email and a video. We did not measure those sites for you.
