Given today's technological and political trends, building Tor into private tabs is "critical," said Forrester analyst Fatemeh Khatibloo. ISPs snooping on your online behavior? That sort of privacy erosion just got a lot easier with a measure President Donald Trump signed Monday that frees broadband providers like Comcast and Verizon from a requirement to obtain your permission before tracking your online behavior and selling that information to advertisers. "This new browsing mode will give the user better protection from local surveillance, such as by their internet service provider or other users on a shared Wi-Fi network," she said. Yan Zhu, a Brave programmer whose long history of privacy and security projects includes encrypted email at Yahoo and some work on Tor's software, is leading Brave's Tor work. But the startup is working on adding a new level of protection to its private tabs by incorporating the Tor Project's network identity-hiding technology.

Brave, a new web browser challenging bigger rivals like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, wants to take privacy on the internet to the next level.
