This post is part of an ongoing series evaluating Brave’s performance. It describes work done by Soumyajit Chatterjee (Systems and Performance Researcher), Kleomenis Katevas (Principal Machine Learning Researcher), Artem Chaikin (Staff Security Engineer), Pete Snyder (Principal Privacy Researcher), and Hamed Haddadi (Chief Scientist, Visiting Professor).
We recently ran new benchmarks comparing Brave against the three most widely used desktop browsers: Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. We found that Brave for desktop is faster, uses less energy, consumes less CPU and memory, and transfers less data. Specifically, across all tested browsers Brave:
Uses on average 44% less CPU
Uses on average 10% less energy
Uses on average 28% less memory
