5 days agoAbout the Company
Brave is on a mission to build a user-first Web. Starting with its flagship browser and search engine, Brave shields users from the creepy ads and trackers that follow you across the web. Their browser has more than 82 million users, and their search engine delivers over 1 billion queries per month. But they’re also changing the Web’s money model with a privacy-first digital ads platform that gives advertisers access to unreachable audiences, users earn crypto rewards for their attention, and creators unlock new revenue streams. Founded in 2015 by Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript and co-founder of Mozilla (Firefox), and Brian Bondy, formerly of Khan Academy and Mozilla. Discover their products: Brave Browser: Fast, private browsing that blocks third-party ads and trackers by default. Brave Search: The world’s largest private search index and the fastest growing independent search engine since Bing. Brave Ads: Unique cookie-less advertising in discreet ad units built right into the browser and search engine.
