The new Brave Browser for Mac automatically blocks ads and trackers, making it faster and safer than your current web browser. It's amazing how fast a page loads when you strip away everything but the real content. Up to a whopping 60% of page load time is caused by the underlying ad technology that loads into various places each time you hit a page on your favorite news site. And 20% of this is time spent on loading things that are trying to learn more about you. Download, Install or Update Brave Browser for macOS!
