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 is specifically focused on the user privacy niche and blocks all ads and trackers by default. Brave Software was co-founded in May 2015 by CEO Brendan Eich (creator of JavaScript and former CEO of Mozilla Corporation) and CTO Brian Bondy[1]. Brave is headquartered in San Francisco, CA. As of February 2021, Brave Browser had over 25 million monthly active users. [2]
