Switch to Brave Browser Reason #33: Get warnings about known malware-hosting sites
A website that distributes malware can turn a browsing mistake into a device compromise.
Why this matters
A website that distributes malware can turn a browsing mistake into a device compromise. Privacy is easier to defend before this information is collected than after it has spread.
The protection
Brave's Safe Browsing checks against known dangerous websites.
Take action
Keep Brave updated and heed warnings. The system is a warning layer, not a guarantee that every unknown site is safe. 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.
