I thought this might interest some of you that use Brave as your main browser.
Brave Origin is a minimalist Brave edition that costs $59.99 on other platforms but is free for Linux users.
Recently, Brave introduced Brave Origin, a minimalist version of its browser whose main appeal lies in what it removes rather than what it adds. The new edition strips out many optional Brave services, including AI, crypto, VPN, Rewards, Tor, and several telemetry mechanisms, while remaining free for Linux users.
According to Brave, Origin is designed for users who want the browser’s core privacy and security protections without the wider set of features included in the standard Brave browser. It keeps Brave Shields, ad and tracker blocking, frequent software updates, Chromium security patches, and ongoing security and privacy improvements.
Brave Origin on Linux
This is a standalone version of the Brave Origin app on your desktop device. Downloads are also available on Linux, macOS and Windows.
Origin is free on Linux devices, but still available for purchase for those who’d like to support Brave financially and/or use Origin on other operating systems.
