Switch to Brave Browser Reason #12: Reduce exposure to invasive ads and the scripts that deliver them
An ad slot can bring outside code and trackers onto a page you otherwise trust.
Why this matters
An ad slot can bring outside code and trackers onto a page you otherwise trust. Privacy is easier to defend before this information is collected than after it has spread.
The protection
Shields blocks many third-party ads and trackers before they run in the browser.
Take action
Keep Shields enabled during daily browsing. This reduces exposure but does not replace updates, cautious downloads, or malware protection. Brave reduces common tracking, but a site you sign in to still knows what you do there. Ordinary browsing also reveals your IP address to the destination.
