Finding a web browser which is right for you is these days just as important as choosing a good screen-reader or Email client. As using the web is so liberating for us as blind people, it’s an important choice and it’s right that you evaluate as many browsers as you can. In this training course, Brave Words, we would like to show you some of the many advantages the Brave browser can offer.
There are lots of reasons why Brave is becoming a popular browser. The fact that its tools are accessible is a prime consideration, privacy is undoubtedly another and a faster browsing experience is a third out of many.
In addition to the above, Brave can do a great deal more than allowing you to browse the web as will be demonstrated.
