Brave Portable is an open-source Internet browser designed from the ground up to meet the demands of both novice and experienced PC users who wish to browse the Internet using an app that is genuinely portable and can be transferred from one PC to another without leaving any data behind.

The app is lightweight, simple to use, fast, and stable, allowing users to enjoy the full range of internet experiences, including static pages, dynamic presentations, multimedia streaming, interactive projects, and all other types of content supported by the underlying Chromium base and Blink engine.

Anyone who has used a Chromium-based internet browser before will feel right at home with Brave Portable. The browser has all of the latest features and services found in current Chrome, including built-in support for website password management, UI customization, web search shortcuts, and much more. However, the majority of the adaptations for this program have focused on online security, rapid content rendering to prevent the download of data-grabbing advertising and trackers, and full portability.

The Brave Portable software also takes pride in providing a genuinely private browsing experience by allowing users to access Tor browsing immediately from a newly opened tab. Tor browsing automatically covers users' identities, browsing history, and even their location by routing all data through a network of protected and encrypted servers.

Most importantly for laptop users, due to the complete elimination of data logging on local storage (such as the elimination of user log creation, crash report writing, ID generation, and advanced cookie encryption), this web browser can use up to 35% less laptop battery than traditional browsers. One negative point to such a strong stance against local storage logging is that cookies, passwords, and settings will not be saved across computers.

How To Install Brave Portable?

To install Brave Portable on any desktop or laptop PC, users simply need to download and run the newest installer. The destination storage location can be a local hard disk or a portable USB stick, allowing users to seamlessly transfer their Brave Portable surfing experience from one computer to another. 

Brave Portable is completely free and compatible with all contemporary versions of the Windows operating system. The program is available in both native 32-bit and 64-bit versions and is also compatible with Linux and macOS (Intel and ARM64).
