Crée en 2016 par Brendan Eich, qui n'est qu'autre que le co-fondateur de la Mozilla Foundation et le créateur du Javascript, Brave se targue d'être le navigateur internet respectueux de ses utilisateurs.
En effet, basé sur Chromium et dé-Google-isé au niveau code interne, le navigateur intègre un bloqueur de pub et un anti-tracking. Il permet même, si l'utilisateur le veut, de les remplacer par de la publicité plus pertinente afin de rémunérer le site web sur lesquels elles apparaissent, l'éditeur du navigateur et l'utilisateur.
Pour Linux, Brave est également disponible en Snap et FlatPak
