Comparison
Brave vs Lycos
Who’s behind each, what their homepages track, what they cost and how often their policies changed, measured the same way for both. By what they offer, they’re very close.
Brave is a free, open-source, Chromium-based web browser for desktop and mobile that blocks ads, trackers and cookie pop-ups by default, with add-ons such as Brave Search, a VPN, Tor private windows and an AI assistant.
Lycos is a web portal offering private web search that does not build a user profile, plus aggregated news headlines from partner outlets and assorted tools; historically also email, chat and domain services.
