After Edge to Brave also switched to Chromium to speed up
Google's open source Chromium platform is slowly taking over the global browser market.For example, after Microsoft chose to use it for Edge last week, another relatively well-known privacy-focused browser, Brave, also announced that it would switch to Chromium from the latest version, v. 0.57.
Brave is the latest name to join Chromium's 'fans' group, now including Google Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera and recently Edge.
Although Brave has used Chromium's back-end code since its launch in 2016, the browser has also used the Muon library for its user interface.Brave representatives believe that the new code base will help improve the browser performance by 22%.They shared that users will see savings of up to 8 to 10 seconds on web page loading time, compared to the previous version.
In addition, Brave 0.57 will also support Chrome extensions.The company said it has conducted the classification of extensions in three categories to ensure user safety, that is:
- Utilities are allowed and edited.
- Utilities are allowed but not edited.
- Utilities are blocked.
They plan to classify utilities into further details in the future.This may be an attractive feature for existing Chrome users who are willing to try the new browser without abandoning Chrome's unique features.
However, Brave said it will not allow any user data to be synchronized with their server without permission:
'However, unlike the Google Chrome browser, Brave doesn't have any connection with Google in its background. We have disabled Google accounts and sync, as well as deleted all Chrome-specific codes. In addition, Google will not be used for search suggestions - Brave will rely on Alexa's top offline websites list alongside open tabs and history stored only on your device. .
