I usually use Safari to browse and work on my iMac. But that doesn’t mean it’s the only browser you have installed. I often turn to Firefox, Opera, and Brave when I need a specific feature that Apple’s browser doesn’t offer.
brave It is one of them. It’s safe, fast, it has its own search engine independent of Google, and now it just added a new privacy feature: it blocks Google’s AMP pages. Bravo for Brave…
The Brave web page browser has just incorporated a new function that ignores the websites programmed with the system Google AMPs and automatically redirects users to the original website bypassing the Mountain View giant’s servers.
AMP, or Accelerated Dynamic Pages, is a non-standard subset of Google’s HTML that renders page content to look like it came from the original publisher’s website, when in fact it’s loaded from the original publisher’s website. Google servers.
Google claims that this system improves the performance of the website and simplifies the browsing experience, but in reality what it does is facilitate the monitoring navigation by Google, and it is detrimental to privacy, since it provides Google with even more information about which pages users visit since it is hosted on its servers.
Brave has got down to work, and with his new role De-AMP It aims to prevent us from ending up on Google’s servers unintentionally. Whenever possible, Brave will rewrite links and URLs to prevent users from visiting Google-hosted AMP pages. And in cases where that’s not possible, the browser will watch as the pages are fetched and redirect users away from AMP pages even before the page fully loads, preventing AMP/Google code from loading and executing. .
Google is currently developing a successor to AMP, based on its Signed Exchange and WebBundle proposals, which Brave has previously criticized on user control, performance, and privacy grounds. For now, with brave we bypass Google’s AMP system.
