- Here are 10 ways Brave is better than Chrome.
Number one, Brave has a built-in ad blocker.
With Chrome, you have to use a third party extension
and Chrome recently announced some changes
that are going to negatively impact
the reliability of these third party extensions.
But with Brave, that's not a concern
because they have a built-in ad blocker
and it works wonderfully.
Next, they have a built-in tracker blocker.
They use something called fingerprint randomization
and this makes it difficult
for sites to track you across your browsing activity.
This is because they can't really get that fingerprint
of what your browser is or which device you are.
It's hard for them to get a unique identifier
and this means that it's more difficult
for them to serve you targeted ads.
Big tech companies like Facebook and Google
make so much of their money by tracking you,
studying your habits,
seeing what things you're looking at online
and I just think it's creepy.
I feel a lot more comfortable knowing that it's difficult
for these companies to track me,
even though I have an ad blocker anyway,
so if they did serve me targeted ads, I wouldn't see them.
I'm just glad that I'm not feeding them my data.
In recent years,
Apple has added this do not track popup to iOS,
so when you open a new app that uses tracking,
you can say, "Don't track me,"
and iOS will actually block it.
But unfortunately, Google isn't interested in doing this
because Google's a data company,
they wanna know all this information on you.
So when you use Chrome,
you're just feeding all your data to Google.
But when you use Brave,
thanks to the built-in tracker blocker,
that's not gonna be a problem.
For numbers three and four,
Brave is faster and uses less RAM.
Thanks to that built-in tracker blocker,
pages load quicker because they don't have to load
all the tracking scripts and the invasive ads.
And as a side effect, it's also more efficient with RAM,
especially when you have multiple tabs open.
The developers have done a great job optimizing Brave
and even though it does run on Chromium,
which is the same engine that powers Google Chrome,
they've cut the fluff out and made some changes
to make it more efficient.
In fact, Brave will save you enough time
with its faster speeds to save you a few extra seconds
to hit that subscribe button.
Number five is that syncing browsing data between devices
is more private.
Brave doesn't require any sort of brave account
or email and password to sync your data
from your desktop to your phone.
And this is cool because Brave has no way of knowing
who the data belongs to on their servers.
They use a passphrase and encrypt the data client-side
which means that it's encrypted on their servers.
They can't see the data
and they don't know who it belongs to
since you don't have an account.
The way Brave does their data syncing
reminds me of the same setup that password managers use.
And if you don't have a password manager, you need one.
The best way to protect yourself online
is to secure your accounts with strong, unique passwords,
but no one can remember hundreds of different passwords
for all of your accounts and that's where 1Password,
the sponsor of today's video, can help.
1Password is a password manager that stores your logins,
credit cards, personal information, and secure notes.
You can easily sign into sites and apps with autofill
on any device, and you can access your vault with Face ID,
Windows Hello or Fingerprint Unlock.
Oh and 1Password works perfectly on Brave.
1Password even lets you share passwords
with family and colleagues.
We use 1Password here at Craylor Media
and I'm able to share specific logins
with individual team members
to give them exactly what they need.

Thanks to 1Password for sponsoring today's video
and now, here are five more ways
Brave is better than Chrome.
Number six is that the private window in Brave
is far more private than the incognito mode in Chrome.
All the incognito mode really does in Chrome
is prevent Chrome from keeping a browsing history
while you have that window open,
but sites are still able to leave cookies
and track your activity between sites
in that incognito session.
With Brave, the private window works similarly,
although they do have an option to use Tor.
This masks your IP address from the sites you visit,
kind of like a VPN and it's another thing
that makes it more difficult for sites to track you.
Next is Brave Rewards.
Brave has an optional feature
where you can opt into view non-invasive ads.
These ads are displayed in places like the new tab page
or as a push notification in Brave
and they're not displayed on any of the websites you visit.
If you choose to opt into Brave Ads,
you can get rewarded through Brave Rewards.
You'll receive BAT or Basic Attention Token,
which is a cryptocurrency created by Brave
and it can be redeemed for cash or gift cards.
I think Brave Rewards a great feature
because it's totally optional.
You don't have to opt in if you don't wanna view the ads.
For numbers eight and nine,
Brave offers a built-in crypto wallet
and native IPFS support.
To store your BAT, Brave has a native crypto wallet
that can also handle any cryptocurrency
like Bitcoin or Ethereum.
This is neat because it's not just some integration
for another third party crypto wallet.
It is a dedicated crypto wallet built into Brave
so you don't have to use any other products or services
to store your BAT.
And on top of that, Brave has native support for IPFS.
This allows you to load Web3 domains
which are decentralized websites.
In Chrome, you would have to have a third party extension
or modify a bunch of settings to get this to work.
But in Brave, I can just type my Craylor.crypto domain
like any other domain name and the website just loads.
I love that Brave is embracing Web3
and the future of the internet
and are supporting the concept of decentralized sites,
which is something that tech conglomerates like Google
aren't necessarily a fan of.
Number 10 is that Brave is committed to privacy.
I know this seems a little bit vague
compared to the other points in the video,
but I think it's worth mentioning.
You can see Brave's commitment to privacy
with the copy on their website
and in the decisions they're making
on which features they prioritize in their browser.
I like that Brave has a transparency report for Brave Ads
showing how many campaigns are running
and how many users have opted into Brave Ads.
This is something that you wouldn't see
from a company like Google,
and it makes me feel much more comfortable
trusting my browsing data to Brave instead of Chrome.

I think Brave is absolutely worth using over Chrome,
but a lot of people ask me about Firefox.
