Brave vs Proton VPN

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

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.

Proton VPN

Consumer and business VPN service from Swiss company Proton AG, with a free tier and paid Plus plans, servers in 140+ countries, and built-in ad and malware blocking. It is part of a wider Proton suite that includes encrypted email, calendar, cloud storage and a password manager.
