>Built-in Ad-blocker written in C++ and Rust, partially based on uBO, and frequently updated
>Regarded as a top tier privacy and security-centric browser by credentialed academic researchers
>IPFS Support OOTB
>Optional integrated private Tor tabs
>Optional integrated lightweight torrent client for inspecting a torrent's content before you pass it off to your actual client (qBT, of course)
>Best in class protection against fingerprinting via complex entropic contextually driven anonymized randomization algorithms
>Completely FOSS
>No telemetry (unless you opt in to Brave Rewards)
>Extremely fast page loads
>All the extension and DRM'd media playback support of Chromium
>Regularly incorporates patches from UG Chromium
>Sync works independently of Jewgle and utilizes blockchain technology
>Optional, completely opt-in rewards program for people living in serious poverty who want to get thrown a couple of bucks for watching ads provided via an anonymized recommendation system, which is far better than the advertising model we are forced to deal with on the rest of the web
>The rewards come in the form of BAT, essentially a stable-coin which can be traded on every crypto exchange under the sun

TLDR: If you need a Chromium/Blink-based browser, Brave is far and away the best option. Hands down. No questions asked. If you need a Gecko-based browser, use IceCat. These are the two best browsers in existence right now.
