Brave Search is currently ad-free, but that will change for the free version soon. This way the browser can make money. Brave Search will also offer an ad-free Premium version in the near future. Brave Search can be set in from version 1.31 of Brave for desktop and from version 1.31 of Brave for Android and 1.32 for iOS.
Brave Browser says it doesn’t do tracking. The browser automatically blocks things like third-party trackers and social media buttons. In addition, it does not collect IP addresses. Do you use Brave or a browser other than Chrome? Let us know in the comments below.
