  1. Brave executive frames browser defaults and tracking as privacy and competition issues

    Off Leash with Brave: Surveillance capitalism, Privacy, Ads, and the Future of the Web We sat down with Luke Mulks, VP of Business Operations at Brave, for an insightful conversation about privacy, ethical advertising, and why Brave is rethinking how the internet works. Luke talks about what drew him to Brave, what most people still don’t realize about online tracking, and why “I have nothing to hide” misses the point. We also dig into the battle over default browsers, especially in light of the Google antitrust trial and Apple’s $20 billion deal to keep Google as the default on Safari. Brave is carving a different path. From privacy tools to our own partnership with Brave, preloading it on every UP Phone, this one covers a lot of ground.
