Do you knowBrave? This is an internet browser which was released in 2016 and which focuses everything on confidentiality and respect for the privacy of its users. It was launched by Brendan Eich, who is also the co-founder of the giantMozilla Firefox, but also the creator of the computer programming languageJavaScript. Just that!
For now,Bravehas approximately 50 million monthly users. We are far from 1.1 billion usersannounced for Safari last June, or3.4 billion Google Chrome. However, it remains a good basis. For comparison,Vivaldi, which is also a third-party browser, has around 1 million users.Vivaldihas a similar story toBravebecause it was also developed by an entrepreneur who previously co-founded a popular browser (Opéra).
Anyway, the desktop version ofBravehas just been equipped with artificial intelligence in the form of a chatbot. The latter is calledLeo.It is directly integrated into the browser in a sidebar.
A premium version of Léo is available
Brave confides that she is testingLeofor a few months and is now ready to support users of the desktop version. It is also possible to benefit from an improved version of the chatbot, for the sum of15 dollars per month.Léo Premiumoffers more qualitative answers and more quickly than the free version, likeGPT-4compared toGPT-3.5.
More privacy
To ask for help atLeo, just click on an easily visible icon in the sidebar.Bravefurther guarantees the confidentiality of its users and confirms that the conversations are anonymous and thatnothing is stored in memory. It is true that the very foundations ofBraveare respect for the privacy of users and the non-exploitation of their personal data. The browser blocks all types of trackers and advertisements.
However, we wonder how the firm wants to compete with other AIs which constantly learn from the interactions they have with individuals.Brave is available for Mac here.
