However, there are a good number of files missing that one would expect to see in a Chrome installation most notably the History SQLite database. It turns out that Brave is based in part on Chromium (version 47 as of Brave 0.8). Likewise, the Local Storage, IndexedDB, and databases folders are all present and filled with the same stuff as you'd see in Chrome. The Cookies and QuotaManager SQLite databases are there, as are the Cache/GPUCache directories. This looks a lot like Chrome! The Brave profile data is located at C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\brave. After a little bit I closed the browser and found the profile folder, eager to see what new and strange browser artifacts awaited me. I downloaded Brave 0.8 for Windows, installed it, and starting browsing around. I find the whole concept interesting and I'm curious to see how it turns out.īut since I dissect web browsers for fun, I also was interested to see how Brave looked on disk and what artifacts I could pull from it. The About page on Brave's website describes all this, so I won't rehash it.
Brave also wants to disrupt the current online model where users pay for services with their privacy. Brave is a new browser from some experienced people that aims to be faster and safer than other browsers by blocking ads and trackers.
