Brave Browser is an open-source browser application focused on prioritizing user privacy and democratizing online advertising. It has been developed using the Chromium web browser as a basis. While many browsers are built upon Chromium code, such as Microsoft Edge and Opera, Brave has a few defining factors:

cloud-based presentation tool that employs zooming user interface (ZUI). It enables users to create presentations with non-linear navigation tools. Known as an interactive whiteboard, users can zoom in and out in their presentations using Prezi's ZUI 2.5D space. Different from Microsoft’s traditional PowerPoint slides, Prezi provides a single virtual canvas where the user has great freedom. Users may click anywhere to add texts, shapes, photos, and multimedia. To create navigation, the user selects the path tool and clicks the objects in the order he or she wants them to appear. Prezi was founded in 2009 by co-founders Adam Somlai-Fischer, Peter Halacsy and Peter Arvai, with offices today in Budapest and San Fransisco. Due to the cloud based nature of the software, ethical implications such as security issues arise for users.
