“As a user, access to your web activity and data is sold to the highest bidder. Internet giants grow rich, while publishers go out of business. And the entire system is rife with ad fraud. The vast bulk of websites and ads include software that tries to identify you. They want to track your every move across the web. Brave blocks all this, allowing you to browse freely. Other browsers claim to have a “private mode,” but this only hides your history from others using your browser. Brave lets you use Tor right in a tab. Tor not only hides your history, it masks your location from the sites you visit by routing your browsing through several servers before it reaches your destination. These connections are encrypted to increase anonymity. IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the Web faster, safer, and more open. IPFS has been integrated into Brave’s desktop browser. Brave’s users can now access content directly from IPFS by resolving ipfs:// URIs via a gateway or installing a full IPFS node in one click. Integrating IPFS provides Brave users with a significantly enhanced browsing experience, increasing the availability of content, offloading server costs from the content publisher, and improving the overall resilience of the Internet. Turn on Brave Rewards to earn frequent flier-like tokens for viewing privacy-respecting ads. You can set the number of ads you see per hour. Currently you can support your favorite web creators with your tokens, but soon you’ll be able to spend tokens on premium content, gift cards, and more.”

The open, global internet is the most powerful communication and collaboration resource we have ever seen. It embodies some of our deepest hopes for human progress. It enables new opportunities for learning, building a sense of shared humanity, and solving the pressing problems facing people everywhere.

Over the last decade we have seen this promise fulfilled in many ways. We have also seen the power of the internet used to magnify divisiveness, incite violence, promote hatred, and intentionally manipulate fact and reality. We have learned that we should more explicitly set out our aspirations for the human experience of the internet. We do so now.

“We built Opera by bringing together exceptional international teams of developers, coders, researchers, marketeers and support, who are all compelled to build the best online experience on any device, and to build an audience of empowered, enthralled users worldwide. We’re leveraging 25 years of blood, sweat, and product releases at the forefront of building browsers for more than 380 million engaged users. Building experiences: Today we’re building audiences across Europe, Africa and Asia with new products, including web browsers for laptop and mobile, interactive AI-driven news platforms, and fin-tech applications. We’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible, as more and more people go online to support and shape their lives. Few are better placed than the teams at Opera to help build this future. We’re building new products, new markets, and new audiences. Building a way of working: We work quickly, we have to, to keep up with the tools that people want and need online. We’re agile, because we often have to change direction and shift focus. Because we’re quick and agile we need to make sure people are communicative, clear and brilliantly collaborative. We always have to challenge what has gone before, what is conventional, what has become the norm, because that’s where innovation is. And last but not least, we have to understand and empathize with our users. They need to be at the center of everything we do. Building teams: Opera people are ambitious, for themselves, their teammates and Opera. We are comfortable in a place that changes… almost daily! We are happy when we’re empowered to get on with things. People are judged on their contribution, not when or how they did it. We know that working fast means messing up occasionally but we’re good with that, because we succeed more than we fail. We keep an independent mind, so we don’t try to be right all the time and we don’t go with the flow, we think… hard… and share the thinking! We LOVE being part of a team, it’s not lip service. Finally, we try really hard to be good human beings.”
