Brave Browser for Android is an open-source, privacy-focused browser designed to give you lightning-fast, secure, and ad-free access to the internet. With over 91 million users worldwide, Brave sets itself apart from conventional browsers by combining speed, privacy, and powerful features—all in one lightweight app.
Your Go-to Browser
Built to be intuitive and easy to use, Brave provides a clean, structured interface with customizable bookmarks and built-in privacy statistics, so you can track how much time, data, and energy you save while browsing. Brave is more than a browser—it’s a safer, smarter, and faster way to experience the web.
Enhanced Privacy and Ad Blocking
Brave automatically blocks intrusive ads, trackers, scripts, and cookie pop-ups to protect your data and ensure an uninterrupted browsing experience. With HTTPS Everywhere enabled by default, your traffic is always encrypted and secure. Brave also removes tracking codes from copied URLs, and blocks cookie consent dialogs, so you never have to deal with annoying pop-ups again.
Lightning-Fast Performance
Brave loads pages up to 3x faster by eliminating third-party ads and trackers. The result? Smooth performance, lower data usage, and reduced battery drain—especially useful on mobile devices.
Meet Brave Leo – Your Built-in AI Assistant
Brave now includes Leo, your privacy-respecting AI assistant. Ask questions, translate languages, summarize content, and more—right inside your browser. Leo never records or shares your chats, ensuring your privacy is protected at all times.
Private, Independent Search with Brave Search
Say goodbye to Big Tech tracking. Brave Search delivers results without profiling you. It’s an independent, privacy-first search engine built from scratch to keep your searches truly anonymous.
Firewall + VPN (NEW)
Brave’s optional Firewall + VPN protects everything you do online—even outside the browser. It adds another layer of security for your entire device, not just Brave.
Night Mode
Browsing in the dark? Brave's Night Mode reduces eye strain by automatically adjusting screen brightness and contrast for low-light conditions.
