One of Brave's main goals is to increase the heat of online privacy. We are not only building privacy protection mechanisms in our browser and other products, but we are also moving forward the open standards of the W3C consortium, according to which the entire Internet operates.
Last year we participated in the development of a new privacy standard - Global Privacy Control (GPC). This standard allows users to explicitly communicate that they do not want their online activity to be tracked, as well as legally enforceable privacy concerns (where legislation allows it - for example, in California or the EU). More specifically, it is an HTTP header and JS API, similar to the long-standing Do Not Track , but with one critical difference - the GPC is legally valid (where applicable).
Let's clarify that GPC is an additional privacy protection tool, it does not replace any of the tools already built into Brave.
Why We Support Global Privacy Control
