However, some of the included browser extensions, such as HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger, run on different open source licenses-versions of the GNU General Public License (GPL). It’s the same license as other Mozilla products such as Firefox and Thunderbird. The BAT dashboard.īrave’s open source foundation is built upon the Mozilla Public License (MPL). However, it also offers a way to send its proprietary cryptocurrency to others, mainly content creators. The browser itself is free and open source, and the goal is to block ads and website trackers. As such, there’s a privacy-focused pedigree here that will draw tech-savvy users. Brendan is better known as the creator of JavaScript and co-founder of Mozilla (the makers of the Firefox browser). It’s created by Brian Bondy and Brendan Eich. With unlinkable bouncing, Brave can notice when you’re about to visit a privacy harming (or otherwise suspect) website, and instead route that visit through a new, temporary browser storage.What Is the Brave Browser? The Brave logo.īrave is another in a long line of web browsers that positions itself as an alternative to big guns-in this case, Google Chrome.With debouncing, Brave adds an extra layer of protection against bounce tracking by recognizing when you’re about to visit a known tracking domain, skipping that visit altogether, and instead directly navigating you to the intended destination.It removes tracking parameters from URLs, blocks bounce tracking via filter lists, and pioneered both debouncing and unlinkable bouncing protections.
Bounce tracking involves hiding a tracker directly in the link you click, making it harder to block without breaking websites. As more browsers offer default protection against tracking, the ad tech industry has developed a clever way to get around this protection: bounce tracking.
