Privacy-focused browser Brave updated its iOS app with a new Privacy Hub feature that features a rundown of trackers it’s blocked for fast sites or for a period of time.
Like Safari’s privacy report, the new privacy center in the browser’s 1. 38 edition is designed to inform users about the trackers and privacy threats that Brave blocks.
This update also improves fingerprint protections for iOS. Fingerprints are a strategy used to identify and track other people by combining semi-identifiers (slight differences with each person’s browser, such as browser window length or computer hardware details) and combining them into a single person. unique identifier.
Brave for iOS now protects against fingerprints by adding small amounts of randomization to fingerprint APIs instead of disabling them, which can damage websites, making browsing smoother and more private.
In addition, Brave has added a certificate viewer to its iOS app, allowing users to verify that they are visiting a genuine, non-counterfeit copy. To view a page’s certificate, users can tap the lock icon in the URL bar and can then check whether a certificate is valid or revoked, trusted or not, or whether it meets (or not) the standards.
Brave has gained popularity in recent years for its fear of privacy. Last year, Brave ditched Google as the default search engine and replaced it with the more privacy-focused Brave Search, which uses a separate index and doesn’t track users or their searches. Brave for iOS is loose to download from the App Store. [Direct link]
