Download Brave 0.18.14

Brave is a web browser based on Chromium and uses muon as an associated framework. At the helm of the company behind Brave is Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript and one of the founders of Mozilla. This browser focuses on improving online security by blocking trackers and replacing intrusive advertisements. In addition, an alternative system for financially supporting content providers is offered under the name Brave Payments. The idea behind this is that advertising is a website’s biggest source of income. Intrusive advertisements cause many people to use ad blockers and websites to lose their revenue. A Brave user can choose to participate in this construction and make a certain monthly financial contribution that is then distributed among the visited sites. The developers have released Brave 0.18.14 for desktop with the following changes:
