Joe Rogan uses Brave browser — Here are 5 reasons you might want to start, too
June 10, 2025
Privacy is extremely important. It’s why we always urge our readers to use things liketwo-factor authenticationandpassword managersin their daily lives. But what about your browsing data? That’s important too, and many people (myself included) are sometimes too haphazard with the way we browse the web — mobile or otherwise.
That’s whyover 15 million people— including podcast extraordinaire Joe Rogan — useBrave browser. In episode #1484 of The Joe Rogan Experience (language warningin case you’ve never listened to Rogan’s podcast), Joe Rogan sat down with musician Reggie Watts to talk current events, technology, and yes, privacy. The privacy talk is toward the last 30 minutes or so in case you want to tune in.
Do you use Brave browser? If not, should you be using it? (Well, we wouldn’t be asking the question if you shouldn’t think about it.) Fromtrue private browsingto itsbuilt-in ad blocker, here are five reasons you might want to ditch your browser for Brave.
Do you use Brave browser?
#1: It’s private. Really private.
I hate to break it to you, but Google wants your data, and using Chrome gives them that data. Brave isn’t in the business of selling your personal data, so its servers never store or even see your browsing data.
In addition, it uses the HTTPS Everywhere list to automatically upgrade out-of-date web pages to HTTPS for more secure, encrypted communications.
That’s not all. Brave offers dozens of other privacy features (far too many to list in this article). Check out the full feature listhere.
#2: It’s free!
Everybody likes free things, but nobody likes downloading a free thing and realizing they have to pay money for it. Brave browser is completely free to use. No paywall to unlock extra features, no monthly subscription fee. You can’t beat that.

#3: You can actually earn money using it
#4: It runs on pretty much all devices
If you have a smartphone or a laptop, Brave browser is probably available for your system. You can download it onAndroid, iOS, macOS, Windows, and even Linux.
#5: It supports extensions, just like other full-fledged browsers
Brave browser certainly not as bare assome other browsers.Brave supports Chrome extensions, which means you have access to all the extensions you’re used to on Google’s browser. Just search theChrome Web Store, hit install, and you’ll be up and running in no time.
