The Brave browser is a great choice for those looking for a privacy-focused browser that doesn’t sacrifice speed and performance. It also has a ton of great features like ad-blocking and anti-tracking baked in. But what about Brave browser extensions? Is there such a thing? The good news is that Brave is built around Chromium (the same open-source core used for Chrome) and therefore supports all Chrome extensions right from the Chrome Web Store.

Don’t have Brave? We highly recommend it! You can download it for free from the link below.
