FOSS project
IPFS & dApp Support
Optional Tor tabs (leak fixed)
Extremely fast
Regularly incorporates patches from UG Chromium
Built-in Ad-blocker partly based on uBO, frequently updated
Regarded as a top tier, secure, privacy browser by credentialed academic researchers
Optional lightweight torrent client for inspecting a torrent before passing it off to your actual client
Best in class protection against fingerprinting via contextually driven randomization algorithms
All the extension and DRM'd media playback support of Chromium
Sync works independently of Google and utilizes blockchain technology
No telemetry by default (even with Rewards on)
Completely optional (opt-in) Rewards program for people who want to get thrown some change for receiving unobtrusive plaintext notification ads via an anonymized recommendation ledger, which is far better than the dominant web-advertising model
The rewards come in the form of BAT, a desirable utility token which can be traded on every major crypto exchange
TLDR: If you need a Chromium/Blink-based browser, Brave is far and away the best option. Hands down.
