Now Brave is out with a different version of its Android browser that offers a more traditional, tabbed browser experience.įor those unfamiliar, Brave, backed by $4.5 million in funding, is largely an interesting experiment in moving away from the ad-supported business model of today’s web, and the privacy concerns it accompanies.

The design made the experience more cumbersome and confusing, when what people really wanted was an alternative browser with built-in ad-blocking along with privacy and security protections. The earlier version of the ad-blocking browser utilized an odd user interface involving floating link bubbles, which didn’t sit well with all users. Brave, the new web browser company co-founded by former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, has launched a do-over on Android.
