The creator of Brave, Brendan Eich, also created JavaScript and co-founded the Mozilla Project, which led to the development of the Firefox browser. Brave is based on the open-source Chromium browser, which is also the basis for Google's Chrome, Opera and, most recently, Microsoft's Chromium Edge browser.Feb 14, 2020

The 'security vs. speed' tradeoff is over
Brave is hands-down the fastest browser I've used this year on any operating system, for both mobile and desktop. Memory usage by the browser is far below most others, while website loading is far faster (Brave claims a 3-6x faster browsing experience than others on the market). With less strain on resources comes less strain on your device's battery life as well.

The core of Brave's speed is its suite of security and privacy features. Websites loaded with flashing banners, pop-ups and advertising trackers can slow browsers to a crawl as your device struggles to chew through a heap of extraneous data. While ad-blocking and antitracking plugins are available for Firefox and Chrome, Brave is built to run these features by default.
