About Brave

Brave is dedicated to creating a user-first web experience through its core products: a privacy-focused browser and search engine. Founded in 2015 by Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript and co-founder of Mozilla, and Brian Bondy, formerly of Khan Academy and Mozilla, Brave aims to shield users from intrusive ads and trackers. The company operates in the digital advertising and web browsing markets, serving privacy-conscious users, advertisers, and content creators. Brave's business model includes a privacy-first digital ads platform that allows advertisers to reach previously inaccessible audiences, while users earn cryptocurrency rewards for their attention. Additionally, content creators can unlock new revenue streams. Brave Browser offers fast, private browsing by blocking third-party ads and trackers by default. Brave Search is the world's largest private search index and the fastest-growing independent search engine since Bing. Brave Ads provides unique, cookie-less advertising integrated directly into the browser and search engine.
