Brave for iPhone

Remove distracting advertisements for smoother browsing

Brave prevents intrusive ads from loading on the pages you visit, which speeds up page rendering and reduces data usage. Blocking ads also lowers the risk of exposure to malicious or infected advertisements that could harm your device.

Privacy and tracker defenses

Brave limits what websites can collect about you by blocking third-party cookies and reducing the ways sites can follow your activity. It also includes protections against fingerprinting techniques that try to identify you based on browser and device characteristics.

Quick controls and status information

The browser provides a simple shield/control panel you can open to see how many ads, trackers, and scripts were blocked on a page. From that panel you can toggle protections on or off for a site if you need to allow certain content.

Ad-free search and developer API

Brave Search offers private, ad-free results and a developer-facing API that delivers extensive coverage and quality data. There’s a free tier (1 query per second, up to 2,000 queries per month) and paid plans starting at USD 3 per 1,000 queries, useful for projects that need reliable, privacy-focused search data—particularly for AI and language-model work.

Compatible, fast alternative to mainstream browsers

Functionally similar to popular browsers such as Chrome and Firefox, Brave adds built-in ad and tracker blocking so pages load quicker and interruptions are reduced. The result is a browsing experience focused on speed and user privacy.
