Some websites will track you even if you tell their pop-ups that you reject cookies. The safest approach is to use Brave, which blocks both these annoying pop-ups and the trackers.
Another performance boost is coming to Brave! 🎉
We’ve completed the next stage of improving the memory usage of the browser’s native adblock engine.
Here’s how we’re making your browsing faster…
By blocking ads and trackers, Brave already reduces how much memory sites use.
This performance work ensures that these built-in protections are as lightweight as possible, too.
These changes are live in Brave Beta on all platforms and will hit the release build by December.
The cosmetic filters in our ad blocker have been moved to flatbuffers, a more compact and efficient type of storage.
This under-the-hood change saves ~12 MB of memory on all platforms (Android, iOS and desktop) by default, and even more when additional lists are enabled!
Indirect prompt injection is a serious unsolved security problem facing all AI browsers that can act on the user's behalf.
We're proud to have raised awareness of the issue through our research. But more must be done to secure AI browsing. brave.com/blog/prompt-inject…
Last week we reported similar prompt injection flaws we discovered in AI browsers Perplexity Comet and Fellou: brave.com/blog/unseeable-pro…
In each case, we disclosed vulnerabilities to affected browser vendors before publishing our findings so that they could fix these issues.
In this demo attack, embedded instructions force Opera Neon to find and share the user’s email address.
This same approach could be used to steal more sensitive info. For example, you could find a Neon user's credit card details if they're signed into that card's account.
How this attack works:
1) Attacker embeds instructions in hidden HTML elements or other non-rendered markup.
2) The user asks Opera Neon's AI a question. The AI extracts and processes the entire HTML structure including the instructions.
3) The browser obeys the instructions.
Instructions hidden in a website's HTML can trick an AI browser into giving up your sensitive information.
Today, we're revealing details on a prompt injection flaw we found in Opera Neon.

You can now hide vertical tabs completely when they're not in use. A new way to save some screen space! 😌
You'll find this option when you go to Settings -> Appearance and enable vertical tabs.
Their paper was accepted by the 39th Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (@NeurIPSConf), a top-tier conference for ML and AI.
It will be presented by Brave senior researcher @AliShahinShams1 at Hilton Mexico City Reforma on December 5.
Brave and academic peers have developed SURE, a system that lets users privately report issues with AI models.
The system then repairs these models while protecting the confidentiality of the model, data, and the repairing knowledge.
Have you ever wondered how we can repair AI models based on user feedback, without compromising confidentiality and intellectual property?
We introduce SURE, the first end-to-end framework that SecUrely REpairs failures flagged by users of AI services.

Don't accept those cookies. 🙅♂️
Kudos to @sweaty__palms and team for making a creative short film about Brave's protections against cookies and annoying cookie pop-ups.
We made this commercial for @brave browser using AI!
AI video is getting so good, but it's still not quite good enough for nuanced performances.
Our solution? AI + Trad + VFX hybrid approach
Let me show you how we did it 👇
