Download Brave 1.44.101

Brave is a web browser based on Chromium. At the helm of the company behind Brave is Brendan Eich, the inventor of JavaScript and one of the founders of Mozilla. Brave focuses on improving online safety and offers an alternative system for financially supporting content providers. The idea behind this is that advertising is often the biggest source of income for a website, but that many people use ad blockers because of intrusive advertisements and websites miss out on revenue. The developers have released version 1.44.101 with the following changes and improvements:
