Brave is a new browser that does not track you and blocks ads.I downloaded it several weeks ago and have been conducting usability and quality control testing on it.
Thankfully, so far, Brave is everything they say they are.
Google FINALLY has competition.
I follow Jason Calacanis, the serial venture capitalist, on This Week in Startups. His subject this week was Brendan Eich, the creator of Brave.
Brendan previously invented JavaScript and co-founded Mozilla Firefox, so he has an impressive internet tech pedigree.
Watch and listen to Jason interview Brendan here. You will learn a lot. It's an incredible interview.
Here was Jason's summary: "Episode 819 of This Week in Startups features a fascinating interview with JavaScript creator, Mozilla co-founder, and now Brave Software Founder and; CEO, Brendan Eich. Brendan founded and leads Brave Software, which offers a browser with built-in ad and tracker blocking. 
Jason digs into the details of Brave's Basic Attention Token, the ethics of online advertising, the browser wars, the shady nature of many ICOs, and more." The Brave Community

I will update this post as I discover new uses for Brave. Update: In my experience using this browser extensively, it gets 5 out of 5 stars. Just remarkable. Download it today and use it. It does not track you and it blocks ads as it claims...and more. Good stuff.
Update: I have been using Brave for over a year. I still believe it is a great browser, especially if you value privacy.
