The company also features a digital ads platform that connects advertisers with audiences that prioritize privacy, while users can earn cryptocurrency rewards for engaging with these ads.

Brave stands out from competitors by prioritizing user privacy and offering a unique rewards system, aiming to create a more user-centric internet.
