With debouncing, Brave adds an extra layer of protection against bounce tracking by recognizing when you’re about to visit a known tracking domain, skipping that visit altogether, and instead directly navigating you to the intended destination.It removes tracking parameters from URLs, blocks bounce tracking via filter lists, and pioneered both debouncing and unlinkable bouncing protections.

Brave blocks multiple variants of this scheme, and has the most robust protection against bounce tracking of any popular browser.These tracking links might look like “where everything after the “?” is a tracker. Bounce tracking involves hiding a tracker directly in the link you click, making it harder to block without breaking websites. As more browsers offer default protection against tracking, the ad tech industry has developed a clever way to get around this protection: bounce tracking.This version also fixes video playback on IMDB and HBO Max, even if you don’t have an Apple machine with the new chips inside.

If you have a new M1-powered Mac and you’re looking for a non-Apple, non-Google, non-Mozilla browser, then good news, Brave has updated the release channel of its privacy-focused browser with native Apple Silicon support.
