![]() ![]() Users then donate the tokens to reward their favorite publishers and creators via the integrated Brave Payments system. Users who download Brave are granted tokens ( Basic Attention Tokens, or BAT) every month through the integrated wallet of the browser. By removing intermediaries, Brave resets the current broken digital advertising system that is penalizing publishers. The Brave browser provides an ad-free experience to its users, but its model is to reconnect publishers with ad-blocking users and reward them both. “With the ongoing privacy invasions from technology giants that make a living by exploiting user data, people need tools to fight back and take a stand to protect themselves.” “By combining Brave and Qwant, users can enjoy the Web in a way that does not violate their privacy,” added Brendan Eich, CEO and co-founder of Brave Software. “We are very pleased that Brave has chosen to make Qwant the default search engine in France and Germany.” “Brave is a daring browser that innovates both technologically and economically, with a real ambition to create a sustainable ecosystem for the Internet,” said Eric Leandri, President and co-founder of Qwant. For Qwant and Brave users, this association offers the choice of a coherent and complementary solution at the service of their private life and for independence from the digital giants. Qwant and Brave are aligned in regarding the user as a person who must be respected and not as a product that can be exploited, for a more sustainable Web that respects its users and offers them the privacy by default they demand. By becoming the default search engine in the Brave browser, Qwant continues to expand the range of browsers on which it is now available and easily accessible. Other search engines track users but Qwant does not collect or share users’ personal information. Brave protects its users’ privacy by automatically blocking invasive ads, trackers, and crypto-mining scripts, and is pleased to expand this privacy experience by relying on Qwant to provide the answers to its users’ search queries. It gives users a fast browsing experience, and loads major news sites 2 to 8 times faster than Chrome and Safari on mobile, and 2 times faster than Chrome on desktop. Brave is growing rapidly, with over 4 million monthly active users. The Brave browser is open source and was co-created by Web pioneer Brendan Eich, inventor of JavaScript. With today’s Brave browser update (available for download here ), Qwant becomes the search engine for Brave’s desktop and mobile platforms for a European market of 150 million people, offering users a novel approach to browsing and searching that does not compromise their data. PARIS, France, and SAN FRANCISCO, USA - September 13th, 2018 – Brave, which combines an innovative privacy browser with a blockchain-based digital advertising platform, and Qwant, the European search engine that respects the privacy of its users, announced today that they are partnering to boost privacy on the Web by integrating Qwant as the default search engine in the Brave browser in France and Germany.
