Brave, a desktop browser, claims to consume fewer system resources, such as CPU, memory, and energy, compared to other popular browsers like Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. According to Brave's own tests, the browser uses 44% less CPU, 28% less memory, and 10% less energy on average. Brave's webpage loading completed 20% faster, while sending 39% less outbound data and receiving 26% less inbound data than its competitors.
The primary reason behind this resource consumption is Brave's built-in blocking of ads, trackers, analytics scripts, and third-party requests, which reduces background processes and network traffic. During the tests, Brave ran on an Apple Mac Mini with an M2 chip and 8GB of memory, conducting 50 popular websites' landing pages tests 10 times each, using clean browser profiles and different browser versions.
Despite Brave conducting the tests, other researchers can still verify the results due to the transparency of Brave's testing setup and methodology.
