Brave is een webbrowser die gebaseerd is op Chromium en die Muon als bijbehorend framework gebruikt. Aan het roer van de onderneming achter Brave staat Brendan Eich, de bedenker van JavaScript en een van de oprichters van Mozilla. Deze browser richt zich op het verbeteren van de online veiligheid en biedt een alternatief systeem voor het financieel ondersteunen van contentaanbieders. Het idee daarachter is dat reclame de grootste inkomstenbron van een website is. Maar vanwege opdringerige reclames gebruiken veel mensen adblockers en lopen websites hun inkomsten mis. De ontwikkelaars hebben Brave 0.23.19 voor desktops uitgebracht met de volgende veranderingen:
