BRAVE BROWSER: 10 Years of Privacy-First Power in Web3

In a digital age overrun by surveillance, Brave Browser has spent the last decade doing something radical:

Respecting you.

As Brave turns 10 years old on May 28, 2025, it stands as a true Web3 pioneer—proving that privacy, speed, and crypto-native features can all live in the same browser without compromise.

🦁 From Disruption to Direction

Founded in 2015 by Brendan Eich (creator of JavaScript), Brave wasn’t just another browser. It was a mission.

A mission to flip the Web 2.0 advertising model on its head. A mission to pay users—not exploit them. A mission to rebuild trust on the internet.

And for 10 years, Brave’s kept that promise.

🔐 Privacy That Just Works

With Brave, you don’t need to install plugins to stay safe. You’re protected the moment you open a tab:

  • Built-in ad and tracker blocking

  • Fingerprinting protection

  • HTTPS upgrades by default

  • No creepy surveillance or data harvesting

Your attention is yours. Your data stays yours.

🪙 Web3-Ready Before It Was Cool

Brave didn’t wait for Web3 to go mainstream—they helped define it. With an integrated crypto wallet, native Solana and Ethereum support, and the Basic Attention Token (BAT) ecosystem, Brave gave users the tools to:

  • Store and swap crypto directly in-browser

  • Connect to dApps without extra extensions

  • Earn while they browse

While others scrambled to support MetaMask or Phantom, Brave already had the infrastructure.

🚀 The YEET Salute

At YEET, we believe in building for the future—with freedom, creativity, and control at the core. Brave’s 10-year journey is proof that you can lead with ethics and innovation.

So here’s to Brave: For being early. For being bold. For being built different.

🎉 Happy 10th Anniversary, Brave.

The Web3 world wouldn't be the same without you.
