Brave brings:
- Native adblocker based on uBlock Origin algo
- Proxy all requests to Google based service in use in Chromium such as Safebrowsing
- Added anti fingerprinting stuff on some web techs such as webgl, canvas, plugins
- Still open source (to be noted: the ads code, server side, is not)
- Everything documented on their wiki
- Trusted binaries unlike ungoogled-chromium
If you can set aside the crypto part of Brave, I believe this is the best Chromium based browser currently.

- BrendanEich 5y agoWe work closely with uBO folks, but as a browser we got a lot farther than Google allows an extension to go (and with Manifest V3 they're getting more restrictive). See the blog series at https://brave.com/privacy-updates/ https://brave.com/privacy-updates/ and see also the work detailed at https://brave.com/research/ https://brave.com/research/. Thanks.
