Utilities

Brave Browser & Search Engine

A browser with built-in ad/tracker blocking, site-data removal, search and optional paid services.

Our take

Consider it for built-in browsing privacy controls

Shields and site-specific Shred provide direct control without installing a separate blocker.

Keep in mind: Blocking is not a guarantee every site works or every ad disappears; AI answers still need checking.

What you can do

  • Block supported ads and trackers with Shields.
  • Remove one site’s cookies/storage with Shred.
  • Use Brave Search, Leo and News.
  • Sync eligible browsing data and import bookmarks.

Good for

  • Users who prefer integrated browsing controls.

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone assuming private browsing makes them anonymous to every website or service.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 18.0.
  • The saved Origin text mixes subscription and one-time wording; confirm the actual offer.
  • VPN is a separate paid service, not an automatic browser entitlement.

Privacy & permissions

The developer describes privacy-focused search and Leo practices. Sites you visit and optional AI/VPN services still deserve separate data-sharing decisions.
