Today’s quick tech tip….
Why you’ll probably love the Brave browser
Want a browser that respects and protects your privacy and quickly loads the web pages you visit?
If so, you’ll probably love the awesome Brave browser.
By default, Brave blocks intrusive ads and other miscellaneous junk.
What’s more, it blocks the collection of your browsing history and info and prevents it from being sent back to some far-away company so they can monetize it in some way.
And as a bonus, Brave is really fast.
In short, Brave keeps your browsing history and personal info private while also delivering the web-based content you want to consume faster than any other popular browser.
Want to give it a try? Just visit your phone’s app store and search for the word brave. It’ll pop right up.
