New tests on macOS show Brave for desktop outperforms Chrome, Edge, and Firefox in page-load speed, CPU, memory, energy, and network use. This post includes the full methodology and results.
Brave Accounts is a brand-new way to sign into Brave services like Email Aliases. Built on the OPAQUE cryptographic protocol, your password is never sent to our servers—not encrypted, not hashed—so it never leaves your device.
Starting with desktop version 1.94, Brave is offering Email Aliases to let you sign up for online services without revealing your personal email address. Aliases forward to your primary inbox, helping reduce spam and break cross-site tracking.

Meet Brave Origin, the minimalist browser Brave users asked for: industry-leading privacy and ad+tracker blocking, none of the extras, and a one-time purchase that works across all your devices (free on Linux).
AgentStop is a lightweight efficiency supervisor that monitors local AI agents in real time, predicts when they are heading toward wasted computation, and terminates unpromising runs early to save battery on consumer devices.
Starting with version 1.89, Brave for Android brings Shred from iOS, so you can clear one site's data without logging out of others, with optional Auto Shred on tab or browser close.
