Brave has launched Origin, a simplified version of its browser, available on multiple OS. Users can expect enhanced focus on security and reduced resource consumption without additional features like crypto wallets or reward systems.
Brave Origin is a newly launched version of the Brave browser that removes many of the additional features found in the standard version. This lighter variant aims to cater to users seeking a more streamlined browsing experience without the clutter of built-in monetization tools like the crypto wallet and rewards program.
Brave Origin is available for major operating systems including Linux, MacOS, and Windows. While Linux users can access it for free, MacOS and Windows users must pay $59.99 to download the browser.
Despite the stripped-down nature of Brave Origin, it retains essential security features from the full Brave browser. These include Brave Shields, which protect against trackers, and the option for private browsing through Tor. Notably, the browser aims to provide fast, user-friendly navigation without the excess resource usage associated with additional features.
The decision to create a simplified version was influenced by user feedback requesting a browser free from unnecessary extras. Users concerned about potential vulnerabilities, such as the risk of crypto wallets being hacked, may find Brave Origin to be a safer alternative, allowing them to maintain high security without the distractions of heavily monetized tools.
In testing Brave Origin, users appreciated its speed and security. However, comparisons with other browsers like Firefox-based Zen Browser reveal limitations, notably the absence of theming options and workspace functionalities, which may deter some users from making the switch despite Origin's strengths.
