If you want a browser with a VPN and ad blocker built in for the fastest possible browsing, Brave is a top pick. It's based on the Chromium foundation, offers private search, an integrated AI assistant and a full-featured VPN to encrypt all your connections. The browser has default shields to block ads, trackers, fingerprinting and cookies, so you're not distracted or vulnerable to prying. It's easy to import bookmarks and supports many languages on desktop and mobile.
Another contender is Opera Browser, which also emphasizes privacy, security and speed. It includes a free VPN for private browsing, an Ad Blocker for an ad-free experience and Integrated Messengers for chatting. With Opera, you also get Tab Islands for better organization, an AI assistant and Opera Flow for instant file sharing. It's available on desktop and mobile devices, so you can use it in whatever context is most convenient.
