Initially, Brave planned to replace the websites’ ads with its own ‘cleaner ads’.
After all, the publisher rely on the income from the ads, don’t they? Brave rewards publishers with its own payment system But you cannot simply kill ads from the website. That sounds more like the features of a browser plugin, rather than a full-fledged browser, isn’t it?īrave promises that users will be getting a faster, secure, clean and ad-free web browsing. Privacy: blocks tracking Pixels and tracking Cookies.Secure browsing: blocks harmful advertising and redirects sites to HTTPS using HTTPS Everywhere.Fast browsing: by blocking trackers and intrusive ads that slows down the browsing.The main promised features of Brave are focused on three points:
# Adds the Brave repository so you can then install the browserĮcho "deb $UBUNTU_CODENAME main" | sudo tee /etc/apt//brave-browser-release-$.Keeping privacy, security, performance and ad-annoyance in mind, ex-CEO of Mozilla and creator of JavaScript, Brendan Eich started a new open source web browser Brave. # Downloads the key and signature for the repositoryĬurl -s | sudo apt-key -keyring /etc/apt//brave-browser-release.gpg add.
echo "Installing curl if not already installed installed"
It's very simple, but it does include commands run as root, so make sure you review it and are okay with it. The Linux installation instructions on require lots of terminal commands that not all might understand, so I basically turned those commands into a script with commentary and slightly more information printed in the terminal. So, the latest version of the Brave web browser in the Software Boutique is quite outdated (it still uses the Muon engine while the latest release is based on Chromium).
