Brave now offers Brave Origin, a minimalist version of its browser designed for users who simply want the privacy of Brave without the extra features.

Origin removes Brave Rewards, Wallet, Leo AI, VPN, and other built-in services that have gradually been integrated into the browser over the years.

For users who never wanted a rewards program, crypto wallet, or AI assistant in their browser, Brave Origin may be exactly what they've been waiting for.

The launch is a welcome move at a time when many browsers are adding AI tools, built-in services, and increasingly large feature sets.

Rather than relying on monetization features and services, users make a one-time upfront payment for Brave Origin, directly supporting its development.

It is available as a standalone browser or as an upgrade for existing Brave users.

Both versions will be available via a one-time purchase of $59.99 US, and a single purchase will give you access to both options.
