People are starting to care which means there is now a market for more privacy.īoth Opera and Brave have Privacy built-in as the default setting, we have ad-block, tracker blocking and even DRM blocking built into the browser while we transition to web3 where websites will be forced to start respecting user data and advertise in better ways. Our friends over at Brave and Opera have noticed people are starting to realize just how many websites are taking advantage of our data they so subtly request from us, or “take”.

Most require a plugin to block ads and trackers that may or may not be from dangerous sources. What makes a privacy-focused browser? While many browsers including the top ones used today have privacy settings, and with the help of plugins we can get even more secure, it’s not the default setting. I would like to go in-depth in the way these two change the way I, and maybe some of you as well, browse the new web. Today we take the two crypto + privacy browsers, Opera and Brave, toe to toe in the blockchain browser bash! These are definitely my top favorite browsers and I use both of them for different situations. Today we’re in a blockchain-ey mood though so I want to focus on two very special browsers that both offer unique features we crypto lovers appreciate. We all know of Chrome, Firefox, and the often-dreaded Internet Explorer, Edge, and Safari.

There are many options for browsing the web out there.
