The Privacy Hub feature in Brave's app displays a summary of the trackers it has blocked for specific sites or over a period of time.
The Privacy Hub in version 1.38 of the browser is designed to educate users about trackers and other privacy threats.
The update improves protections against fingerprints. Combining multiple semi-identifiers, such as the size of the browser window or computer hardware details, and combining them into a single unique identifier is called fingerprints.
Brave protects against fingerprints by adding small amounts of randomization to the fingerprints of the websites, which will make for a more private browser experience.
Brave has added a certificate viewer to its app that will allow users to confirm that they are visiting a real site and not a spoofed copy. To view a page's certificate, users can tap the lock icon in the URL bar, and they can verify if a certificate is valid or revoked, trusted or not.
Brave has gained popularity for its privacy focus. Last year, Brave dropped Google as its default search engine and replaced it with the more privacy-oriented Brave Search, which uses an independent index and doesn't track users or their searches. Brave is free to download from the App Store. The direct link is here.
