Brave includes tracker and ad blocking in the browser, so basic protection is available without adding an extension. Its privacy rating is “Somewhat Private” because some optional services have their own data flows and the settings matter. Review the browser privacy notice, turn off features you do not need, and remember that tracker blocking does not hide your identity from sites where you sign in.

What it offers

  • Shields blocks many trackers and cross-site cookies
  • Fingerprinting protections
  • Optional private search and other services

Limitations

  • Optional features such as Rewards, ads, sync, and AI have separate data practices.
  • Blocking can break some sites and needs occasional adjustment.
  • Browser protections do not make you anonymous.
