Brave overview
Brave automatically blocks ads and trackers, making it faster and safer than your current browser. Soon, micropayments and better ads will give users and publishers a better deal. Up to a whopping 60% of page-load time is caused by the underlying ad technology that loads into various places each time you hit a page on your favorite news site. And 20% of this is time spent on loading things that are trying to learn more about you.
- Browse Faster - Brave blocks trackers and intrusive ads that can slow you down on the web.
- Browse Safer - Brave keeps you and your information safer, effectively shielding you from 3rd party tracking and malvertisement.
- Browse Better - With Brave, you can choose whether to see ads that respect your privacy or pay sites directly. Either way, you can feel good about helping fund content creators.
Features
- Brave blocks harmful advertising - There's a new ad game in town. It's called "Malvertising". The latest display ad technology can install malware on your laptop without your knowledge. But not with Brave watching your back.
- Brave redirects sites to HTTPS - We've integrated HTTPS Everywhere into every Brave browser to make sure you are always moving your bits across the safest possible pipe.
- Brave blocks tracking pixels and tracking cookies - Do you ever get that feeling that someone is watching you when you see an ad for something you bought a few days ago? We make sure you aren't being tracked while you shop online and browse your favorite sites.

Version: 1.67.115.0
v1.67.116.0 is out: "• Fixed certain extensions breaking due to blob partitioning. (#38576)
• Upgraded Chromium to 125.0.6422.147. (#38711) (Changelog for 125.0.6422.147)" - - And it's still spontaeously bombing. And and the "Warn Before Quitting" setting is still nonfunctional. (o_0) Um.... And yes, they know and have known for YEARS.

Version: 1.66.113.0
v1.66.115.0 (aka 125.1.66.115) is out. The release notes aren't published yet. They are always found at: https://brave.com/latest/ - - As usual, the "Warn Before Quitting" function doesn't work, my favorite eternal Brave bug. 🤕 Happily, the devs have been making an effort to avoid Brave bombing 💣 from blowing past the browser's available memory. I wish Brave could eat memory forever with unlimited tabs and pages. But it can't. (And yes, I have loads of free RAM memory). 😇

Version: 1.65.130.0
v1.65.132.0 is out. "Upgraded Chromium to 124.0.6367.202. (#38205) (Changelog for 124.0.6367.202)."

Version: 1.65.126.0
Just to point out that the Macupdate link only downloads the Intel version, if you have an ARM Mac you need to download the Universal version from the developer's website.
Apr 17 2024
Version: 1.64.122.0
v1.65.114.0 is out. The Change Log is here: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/blob/master/CHANGELOG_DESKTOP.md - - My gripes remain its propensity to CRASH and its return to having a thoroughly worthless "Show Full History." Thankfully, the menubar History is working reasonably. It remains my favorite, far more useful than Safari, a mostly reasonable Chromium derivative. I keep good old Firefox around. I also keep an updated source Chromium and a bunch of the obscure browsers. OmniWeb lives on as my no-extensions browser, albeit in constant beta test form.
