Brave

Brave Software builds a privacy-first Chromium-based browser, an independent search engine (Brave Search), an in-browser AI assistant (Leo), a video conferencing product (Brave Talk), an opt-in attention economy (Brave Rewards / Basic Attention Token), a wallet (Brave Wallet), and a privacy advertising platform (Brave Ads). Developer-facing APIs are concentrated in the Brave Search API (api.search.brave.com), which exposes web, news, image, video, suggest, spellcheck, summarizer, and local POI endpoints authenticated via X-Subscription-Token. Browser code is open source under MPL-2.0 on GitHub.
