Switch to Brave Browser Reason #24: Tighten protections for sites that handle sensitive activity
The browser default may be reasonable for most pages but insufficient for a site where the stakes are higher.
Why this matters
The browser default may be reasonable for most pages but insufficient for a site where the stakes are higher. Privacy is easier to defend before this information is collected than after it has spread.
The protection
Brave offers more aggressive Shields settings, with a greater chance of site breakage.
Take action
Try stronger blocking for sensitive browsing and verify the site still works. If you create an exception, limit it to the trusted site. 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.
