Brave

Keep Android open!

Brave is joining the @eff@mastodon.social, the @torproject@mastodon.social, and 40+ other organizations in opposing Google's proposed Android developer registry.

Here's why we're taking this stand...

Brave discovered a security flaw in Perplexity's Comet browser that could allow someone to steal login details from you using something as simple as a comment on a social media post.

New testing confirms that Brave for Android is outperforming the competition. 🏆

It's faster, uses less battery and CPU, and consumes less mobile data and Wi-Fi bandwidth than other major browsers.

We conducted performance tests with a Google Pixel 6a using our open-source BLaDE infrastructure: https://brave.com/blog/blade-testbed/

In the tests, we measured Brave against four competing browsers: Chrome, DuckDuckGo, Edge and Firefox.

Here's what we found...

Microsoft says that Recall won't snapshot private browsing windows. Brave tells Windows 11 that ALL activity in our browser is private so that even normal windows won't be screenshotted.

Brave is the only major Web browser that disables Microsoft Recall by default in all tabs.

Your browsing isn't private if Windows 11 is taking screenshots of everything you do.

Brave will block the controversial feature Microsoft Recall by default with our v1.81 update.

Brave for Android is now available as an F-Droid repository! 📱🤖

This officially-supported repository allows you to install the browser and get automatic updates without using the Google Play app.

We're excited to make our browser available on a decentralized and account-free platform that's free of Big Tech restrictions and tracking.
