Switch to Brave Browser Reason #50: Start reducing surveillance at the point where web data is collected

Why this matters

Waiting until after a profile is built leaves you fighting to remove copies from many companies. Privacy is easier to defend before this information is collected than after it has spread.

The protection

Brave's default Shields block common tracking requests before they reach outside parties.

Take action

Make the switch for your ordinary browsing, then review logins, search settings, and phone browsing. No browser can erase data already collected. 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.
