**Brave** is widely touted as a privacy-friendly Chromium browser, but we have a number of concerns with their business practices and future business model that would prevent us from recommending them. The Brave team [has publicly stated](https://www.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/cs8foq/update_delisting_brave/) they do not want to be associated with privacy-focused groups like PrivacyTools ([PrivacyTools PR #657](https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/pull/657)), which causes us to believe the Brave team does not wish to be under too much scrutiny from the privacy community as they continue to develop their product ([Reddit discussion](http://archive.today/2020.05.13-035943/https://www.removeddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/csapsy/brave_browser_is_being_delisted_from/exf6i0f/)).

[**Bromite**](https://www.bromite.org/) is a Chromium-based browser with security and privacy enhancements built in, such as an adblocker and DNS-over-HTTPS support.

However, <mark>Bromite is only available on Android at this time,</mark> making it a poor choice for users of multiple devices, especially if you need to sync between a desktop and mobile device.

Without signing into a Google Account, the open-source builds of **Chromium** do relatively well in terms of security and privacy. However, Chromium still does have a number of integrations with Google hardcoded into the source, and because it is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, it operates in a way that compromises transparency and user-control. And, Chromium is still directly developed by Google, who have attempted to introduce anti-consumer measures in the past as mentioned in the Google Chrome section.

**Google Chrome** is completely controlled by Google, and taps into your browsing history to track you across the web and serve you targeted advertisements. Because of Google's interest in increased ad revenues, Google Chrome offers [no privacy protections](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/06/21/google-chrome-has-become-surveillance-software-its-time-switch/) out of the box compared to Firefox, and has taken anti-consumer steps to [block common extensions like adblockers](https://www.wired.com/story/google-chrome-ad-blockers-extensions-api/). It's best to avoid this browser at all costs.
