Brave extension by ExpressVPN: Features
Easy to use
You’re moments away from simple, private browsing. Use the extension alone for browser-only protection on Chrome, Brave, or Vivaldi, or pair it with the app for device-wide coverage. ExpressVPN apps and browser extensions make it easy for anyone to connect to our network.
Multilingual interface
The Brave extension is available in 17 languages, so you can use ExpressVPN in the language you prefer.
WebRTC blocking
Some apps are prone to WebRTC leaks, which could reveal your real IP address and location even when using a VPN. The ExpressVPN Brave VPN extension helps prevent this by blocking WebRTC. Easily keep your location private and enjoy a safe and secure online experience.
Superfast speeds
Connect to ExpressVPN’s high-speed network of 10Gbps and 40Gbps servers for fast and reliable browsing in Brave. Stream and browse securely when you download our Brave VPN extension.
HTML5 geolocation spoofing
Help keep your device’s location private when browsing in Brave. ExpressVPN’s extension can override HTML5 geolocation requests by returning the coordinates of your selected VPN server, instead of your device’s actual position. This reduces the amount of location data websites can determine from your browser.
Smart Routing (proxy mode)
Smart Routing lets you set automation rules for specific websites when using the extension in proxy mode. You can route some sites through chosen VPN server locations or allow others to connect directly by bypassing the proxy.
