😀Pros

  • Our digital marketing analytics team with Brave Browser's privacy-respecting Brave News feed aggregator read curated privacy-respecting news without algorithm tracking our article preferences or building a behavioral profile.

🙁Cons

  • Brave News content curation requires initial category preference setup to filter out irrelevant feed topics
  • Particularly relevant for teams switching from other tools.

Since our digital marketing team adopted Brave to understand user privacy expectations, Brave News delivered curated technology and privacy articles without building any behavioral profile or connecting reads to an advertising account.

🔥 Reasons for switching

Consuming curated news without building a behavioral advertising profile by switching to Brave for its privacy-respecting News feed aggregator, making News feed privacy-respecting aggregator the decisive factor.

😀Pros

  • Our digital marketing analytics team with Brave Browser's browser fingerprinting randomization preventing cross-site user identification prevented advertising networks from fingerprinting our browser across sessions using randomized canvas and font metrics.

🙁Cons

  • Fingerprinting randomization may occasionally trigger security bot detection on banking or high-security websites
  • Particularly relevant for teams switching from other tools.

Since our digital marketing team adopted Brave to understand user privacy expectations, canvas and font fingerprinting randomization prevented the cross-site identity tracking that had consistently followed our team across unrelated sites.

🔥 Reasons for switching

Preventing advertising networks from fingerprinting our browser across sessions by adopting Brave for its canvas and font fingerprinting randomization, making fingerprinting randomization protection the decisive factor.
