How Do You Browse The Web Without Being Tracked? (2026/682)

Every time you open Chrome or Edge, advertisers are collecting data on your browsing habits.

If you have ever wondered how to take back control of your online privacy without sacrificing usability, Brave Browser is worth a serious look.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅What Brave Browser is, who built it, and why it was created as a privacy-first alternative to Chrome
✅How Brave Shields work to block trackers, ads, fingerprinting, and third-party cookies — and how to adjust them per site
✅The advanced controls available in Brave, including filter lists, cookie notice blockers, and YouTube Shorts removal
✅How to use Brave Profiles to keep your work, personal, and banking activity completely separate
✅The Brave mobile app — including a free YouTube background play feature that usually requires a paid subscription

Brave is built on the same engine as Chrome, so your favourite extensions work too. Download it at https://brave.com
