 * IS THE BRAVE BROWSER SAFE?
   
   Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks
   privacy-invasive ads & trackers. It blocks third-party data storage. It
   protects from browser fingerprinting. It upgrades every webpage possible to
   secure https connections. And it does all this by default.
   
   It’s also built off the open-source Chromium Web core, which powers browsers
   used by billions of people worldwide. This source code is arguably vetted by
   more security researchers than any other browser. In short, not only is Brave
   safe to use, it’s much safer than almost any other browser. Learn more.


 * HOW DO I DOWNLOAD & INSTALL BRAVE?
   
   Brave is available on nearly all desktop computers (Windows, macOS, Linux)
   and nearly every mobile device (Android and iOS). To get started, simply
   download the Brave browser for desktop, for Android, or for iOS.


 * DOES BRAVE HAVE A VPN?
   
   Yes! Brave Firewall + VPN protects everything you do online, on your entire
   device, even outside the Brave Browser. It’s currently available for Android
   and iOS mobile devices, and will be available on desktop in the very near
   future.


 * WHAT LANGUAGES IS BRAVE AVAILABLE IN?
   
   The Brave Browser is available in nearly 160 languages in all, including four
   different dialects of Chinese. Brave Search is currently available in
   English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish, with support for many more
   languages coming soon.


 * WHO OWNS BRAVE?
   
   The Brave Browser, Brave Search, and all their various features are made by
   Brave Software Inc, an independent, privately-held company. Brave is not
   beholden to any other tech company, and works every single day to fight Big
   Tech’s terrible privacy abuses. Brave exists to help real people, not some
   faceless tech company.


 * IS BRAVE OPEN SOURCE?
   
   Yes. The Brave Browser is built on the open-source Chromium Web core and our
   own client code is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.


 * HOW DOES BRAVE COMPARE TO CHROME?
   
   Simply put, the Brave Browser is 3x faster than Google Chrome. By blocking
   privacy-invading ads & trackers by default, there’s less stuff to load on
   every single webpage you visit. That means pages load much faster, saving you
   time, money, and battery life. It also means you’re much safer online. Learn
   more.


 * IS BRAVE FREE?
   
   Yes, Brave is completely free to use. Simply download the Brave browser for
   desktop, for Android, or for iOS to get started. You can also use Brave
   Search free from any browser at search.brave.com, or set it as your default
   search engine.
   
   Brave also has some great, subscription-based features, including Brave Talk
   Premium and Brave Firewall + VPN.


 * WHAT IS BAT, AND HOW DO I EARN IT?
   
   BAT is short for Basic Attention Token. BAT is a crypto asset, and a key (but
   totally optional) part of the Brave Rewards ecosystem. Here’s how it works:
   
   Brave Rewards gives you the option to view first-party, privacy-protecting
   ads while you browse (these ads are from the Brave Private Ads network). If
   you choose to view them, you earn BAT, via the Brave Rewards program.
   
   You can keep BAT like any other crypto asset, or use it to tip the content
   publishers you love. Brave even gives you a secure way to store BAT (and any
   other crypto asset), with Brave Wallet. And, again, Brave Rewards is a
   totally optional program.
   
   Other tech companies steal your data to sell ads—to them, you are the
   product. Brave is different. We think your attention is valuable (and
   private!), and that you should get a fair share of the revenue for any
   advertising you choose to view. That fair share is rewarded in BAT.
