Nowadays having a good browser downloaded in our operating system is quite important for us to feel comfortable when looking for information on the web. And it is that in addition to looking for information we use our browser for different tasks.
Current browsers offer us performance, security (in some cases), modern designs, etc., but without a doubt that one of the most fundamental keys is the security and privacy of the information and data that are handled there. There are certain browsers that have been developed seeking to optimize this aspect and Brave Browser is one of them.

It is a modern browser based on pillars such as speed, security and privacy. It achieves this by integrating into its engine special functions to block the famous trackers with which it seeks to follow the user's operation in order to offer products and offers.
