Data Monetization
Some browsers profit from your data. Others let you earn from your attention. Understand the business model behind your browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I switch from Chrome to Brave?
Brave offers significant privacy and performance advantages over Chrome. It blocks ads and trackers by default, reducing page load times by up to 3-6x on ad-heavy sites. You get Chrome extension compatibility without the data collection. Plus, Brave's BAT rewards program lets you earn from optional ads. See our detailed Brave vs Chrome comparison for benchmarks.
Is Brave better than Firefox for privacy?
Both are excellent privacy browsers, but they differ in approach. Brave blocks ads and trackers natively in C++/Rust code, while Firefox relies more on extensions. Brave also includes Tor integration and fingerprint randomization by default. Firefox offers a non-profit mission and Gecko engine independence. Read our Brave vs Firefox comparison for the full breakdown.
Which browser is best for Mac users?
Safari offers the deepest macOS integration with iCloud sync, Handoff, and optimized battery life on Apple Silicon. However, Brave provides superior ad blocking, Chrome extension support, and cross-platform sync if you also use Windows or Android. Our Brave vs Safari comparison helps Mac users decide based on their priorities.
Do all these browsers support Chrome extensions?
Most Chromium-based browsers (Brave, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Arc) support Chrome Web Store extensions. Firefox has its own add-ons ecosystem. Safari has limited extension support through the App Store. Brave's native ad blocking means you don't need extensions like uBlock Origin, but it supports them if you want additional functionality.
