Browse Faster
Brave browser bookmarks location: C:Users%username%AppDataLocal BraveSoftwareBrave-BrowserUser DataDefault. Open windows explorer and paste the line above into the address bar. If you are moving your bookmarks to a new PC you'll want to copy 2 files 'bookmarks' & 'favicons'. Learn how to import bookmarks & settings from your old browser, or old version of the Brave browser, into the new version of Brave. Download Brave free, here. The bookmark handling in brave is a clusterfuck. I tried to import my bookmarks from Chrome and then organized them into new folders, only for brave to re-add them to the original folders. When I delete all bookmarks, they reappear on their own after a few minutes. I have disabled sync.
Load pages 3x to 6x faster
Watch Brave in action, head-to-head-to-head against Chrome and Firefox. Brave loads pages three times as fast out of the box with nothing to install, learn or manage.

Switching Is Easy
Import and continue where you left off
It’s easy to import your settings from your old browser. You can do it during the welcome tour or later through the menus.
All of your old browser profiles will appear in a list. You can import other browser data through the main menu item called “Import Bookmarks and Settings.”
Give Some Back
Support your favorite sites with Brave Rewards
Brave Sync Bookmarks Google
Turn on Brave Rewards and give a little back to the sites you frequent most. Earn frequent flyer-like tokens (BAT) for viewing privacy-respecting ads through Brave and help fund the content you love
Browsing the web with Brave is free: with Brave Rewards activated, you can support the content creators you love at the amount that works for you. Apps maker for mac.
Brave can automatically distribute your contributions based on how much time you spend on sites. Or, you can choose to tip sites directly, and even offer a fixed monthly tip amount.
All of this works while keeping your browsing history private. Your funds are made available to site owners through an anonymous ledger system, so you can’t be identified based on the sites you visit and support. Over 10,000 publishers and content creators have registered to receive Brave Rewards.
Remember: these contributions are optional – browsing the web with Brave is free.
Browse Safer
Experience unparalleled privacy and security.
Brave fights malware and prevents tracking, keeping your information safe and secure. It’s our top priority.
We’re not in the personal data business.
Our servers neither see nor store your browsing data – it stays private, on your devices, until you delete it. Which means we won’t ever sell your data to third parties.
Customize your shield settings
Choose your settings on a per-site or browser-wide basis. See how many ads and trackers are being blocked by Brave every day on the New Tab Page.
Security meets simplicity
If you’re willing to research, download, and install multiple extensions, and carefully configure and correctly maintain settings in both the browser and extensions, you can match some of Brave’s privacy and security.
Brave does all that work for you. Simple, right?
Sync Brave Bookmarks With Chrome
Whenever possible using the HTTPS Everywhere list, Brave automatically upgrades to HTTPS for secure, encrypted communications when an ordinary browser would use an insecure connection.
Defaults that matter
Browse confidently with default settings that block phishing, malware, and malvertising. Also, plugins, which have proven to be a security risk, are disabled by default.
Sync your devices bravely
Brave Sync, currently in beta, can be enabled to encrypt and synchronize your preferred settings and bookmarks. However, Brave does not have the keys to decrypt your data.
