Enjoy private, secure and fast browsing with Brave.

How fast is fast? On a laptop or desktop you’ll see load times anywhere from 50% to 100% faster. It’s even more noticeable on mobile devices, and you could be seeing pages load up to eight times faster than on your smartphone’s default browser (like Safari or Chrome). Check the stats yourself:

Speed is about more than page load times

Brave loads pages faster than other browsers, but that’s not all that matters. Browsing eats up time in other, subtler ways: Pop-ups, advertisement videos, banners you have to scroll past – it all bogs down your experience. Brave’s default setting is to shield you from all manner of ads, trackers, banners, cookies, and pop-ups. That means all it has to load is the actual web content, not ads. It doesn’t require you to add additional plug-ins either, so the experience doesn’t get bloated. See it in action:

No bloatware and slimmer pages also means your device’s battery life will last longer than if you used Chrome on mobile. More battery life means fewer trips to recharge you phone, so you’ll be saving time on that front too.

Save time, save money

We probably don’t even need to mention it, but time is money. Since you’re paying for bandwidth you’re also paying for all the ads and slow page load times. When your browser isn’t eating up your bandwidth just to load obtrusive ads, you’re saving money as well.

Try Brave today

When you open a browser you’ve got a goal in mind. Everything that gets in the way of you and the content you’re seeking is unnecessary traffic. Download Brave and you’ll immediately understand why it’s gotten over 28 million downloads on Android alone. Download it here 100% free, and see what the hype is about.

Allow permission to begin installation setup

Steam setup

Once you click on the downloaded file, Steam will request permission to install onto your device. Once you give it the okay, the installation process will begin. It will ask you for your preferred language, and then the installation will begin.

Make sure you have enough space.

Steam is about 450 MB, but games can be a few GB each. If your computer doesn’t have the necessary space for new games, then you need to make room before you start downloading.

Self-updating

Steam update

After you’re finished downloading, Steam will automatically update itself to fit the current version. This will happen every time you open Steam. This process typically doesn’t take as long as the initial download process, but it can still take a few minutes.

Create a new account or log into your old one

All you need in order to create an account is your email address. Also, you can choose when Steam sends you emails. You probably don’t need to hear about EVERY Steam sale, but you do need to know about password info and privacy matters.

Once you are logged in, you’re ready to start buying and playing games!
