With 2018’s rising number<\/a> of data breaches<\/a>, there’s an increasing demand for a way to browse the internet in a more secure environment – one that doesn’t track users, excessively bombard with advertisements, use a plethora of cookies to document user actions, or force people to spend their bandwidth money to watch pop-ups that they didn’t ask for in the first place.<\/p>\n

How much slower<\/a> are ads really making our browsing? As it turns out, underlying ad technology can result in up to 60%<\/a> of a page’s loading time. If that statistic doesn’t phase you, the frightening truth is that upwards of 50% of a mobile user’s data is spent processing ads and trackers.<\/a> Ads consume more loading time, costing users more data money and draining their batteries faster (around 16% of your battery life is depleted from ads alone<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/b><\/span>“Three of the four top browsers in the U.S. have been captured by – or are owned outright by – advertising companies,” explains Brave co-founder and CEO Brendan Eich<\/a>. If that name rings a bell it’s because he’s the guy who not only created JavaScript while at Netscape, but also gave us Mozilla and Firefox<\/a>. “This means they will not block advertisements or invisible scripts (JavaScripts) that ads rely on. Therefore their users suffer from ad overload and tracker overload. They feel like they’re stalked by ads, they’re tracked by ads, they’re spending more on data plans just to download the ad tracker scripts.”<\/p>\n
