打開瀏覽器準備好好看篇文章,結果頁面上下左右全是廣告,讀到一半還被影片自動播放嚇一跳;明明網路很快,網頁卻轉圈圈轉半天。你只是想好好上網,卻覺得自己像被廣告看板包圍,連開個網站都怕點到陷阱。這種時候,你會開始懷疑:是不是該換個瀏覽器,從源頭解決問題?

很多人第一個念頭是裝擋廣告擴充套件,但擴充套件有時會誤擋版面、拖慢速度,甚至被網站偵測後要求關掉才能看內容。更別提那些藏在廣告背後的追蹤器,無時無刻不在記錄你去了哪裡、點了什麼。這類瀏覽器的切入點,是直接把擋廣告、擋追蹤做進瀏覽器核心,讓你在開啟網頁的瞬間就先攔截干擾,而不是事後補救。

01Brave Browser 的擋廣告效果跟一般擴充套件有什麼差?

它預設就會擋掉第三方廣告和追蹤器,不用另外安裝擴充套件。每個網站可以單獨設定要不要開擋廣告,也能調整全域的預設值。官方說法是靠擋掉拖慢載入的廣告和追蹤器,載入新聞網站的速度可以比 Chrome 和 Firefox 快三到六倍,但實際速度還是要看你的網路環境和網站本身。

02它說瀏覽可以賺 BAT 代幣,那是怎麼運作的?

這是 Brave Rewards 計畫,採自願加入制。你開啟廣告功能後,會看到注重隱私的廣告,看廣告就能累積 BAT 代幣。這些代幣可以打賞給喜歡的內容創作者,或設定每月自動貢獻給常逛的網站。要提領或轉出代幣,需要透過 Uphold 錢包驗證身分,這部分會牽涉到實名制,不是完全匿名。

03這套軟體有 VPN 功能嗎?安全嗎?

有,它內建 Brave Firewall + VPN,是跟 Guardian 合作提供的服務。官方強調 VPN 伺服器不會記錄你的上網行為,也不會把資料賣給第三方,伺服器端不知道你是誰。不過要注意,VPN 功能屬於付費服務,不是免費的,而且官方資料沒有提到台灣地區的伺服器節點和連線速度,使用前最好先確認。

04我原本瀏覽器的書籤和密碼可以搬過去嗎?

可以。它支援從你目前使用的瀏覽器匯入書籤、瀏覽歷史和 cookies,第一次安裝時會引導你選擇要匯入的來源。密碼的部分,它本身有內建密碼管理員,也可以從其他瀏覽器匯入。如果你原本用的是 Chrome,因為 Brave 也是以 Chromium 為基礎,匯入過程通常會比較順暢。

05它支援 Chrome 的擴充套件嗎?

官方說明提到,Brave 桌面版支援 Chrome 線上應用程式商店裡大部分的擴充套件。也就是說,你習慣用的擴充套件大多可以直接安裝,不需要重新找替代品。不過「大部分」不代表全部,少數依賴特定 Chrome 功能的擴充套件可能無法正常運作,安裝前可以先測試看看。

06什麼樣的人適合用這套瀏覽器?

如果你很在意上網時被廣告干擾、不想被追蹤器記錄行為,而且願意花時間熟悉英文介面,那它會是值得考慮的選項。另外,如果你對加密貨幣和 BAT 代幣有興趣,想邊上網邊累積一點獎勵,這套軟體提供了其他瀏覽器沒有的機制。舊電腦使用者也可以試試,因為它主打輕量快速,對硬體需求不高。

07它只有英文介面嗎?中文使用者會不會很難上手?

官方資料顯示介面語系只有 English,沒有提到中文。如果你對瀏覽器設定不熟,或看不懂英文選單,操作上會比較吃力。不過瀏覽器的基本功能如分頁、書籤、網址列,圖示和位置跟 Chrome 很接近,用過 Chrome 的人大概能憑直覺操作。但進階設定如 Shields 擋廣告選項、Rewards 錢包功能,就需要一定的英文閱讀能力。

08我的電腦是 Windows 7,可以安裝嗎?

可以,官方列出的系統需求包含 Windows 7、Windows 8、Windows 8.1 和 Windows 10,處理器需要 Intel Pentium 4 以上且支援 SSE2。不過要注意,微軟早已停止支援 Windows 7 的安全性更新,就算瀏覽器本身有擋廣告和防追蹤功能,作業系統層面的漏洞還是無法靠瀏覽器補齊,建議你評估一下繼續使用 Windows 7 的風險。

09這套軟體更新頻率高嗎?會不會裝了之後沒人維護?

從收錄的版本紀錄來看,它從 2016 年就開始釋出版本,最近一年內有 4 次更新,代表開發團隊還有在持續維護。不過跟 Chrome 或 Firefox 這種每幾週就更新一次的瀏覽器比起來,更新頻率不算特別高。如果你很在意瀏覽器能不能即時修補安全漏洞,可以多留意官方釋出更新的節奏。

10它跟其他主打隱私的瀏覽器比起來,選哪個比較好?

官方資料列了幾個功能相近的軟體,包括 Orbitum Browser、Polarity、Cyberfox、UR Browser 和 Slimjet。其中 Orbitum 和 Polarity 的評分人數都超過 1500 人,比 Brave 的 339 人多,代表有更多使用者回饋可以參考。不過評分人數多不代表比較好,只是樣本數較大。建議你實際安裝幾套試用,看哪個介面順手、擋廣告效果符合期待。

11這套軟體真的完全免費嗎?會不會用到一半要收費?

瀏覽器本身免費,官方明確說不需要付費就能擋廣告和追蹤,這部分不會收錢。但要注意,VPN 功能是付費服務,Brave Rewards 的某些功能也可能只在高級方案或 iOS 平台提供。如果你只是想要一個免費的擋廣告瀏覽器,基本功能就夠用了;但如果想用 VPN 或完整的獎勵功能,就要先確認付費方案。

12我聽說它會預設把網址轉到 IPFS 網路,那是什麼?

IPFS 是一種點對點的分散式檔案網路,官方說明提到可以讓瀏覽器直接從 IPFS 網路存取內容,不需要經過中間伺服器。這個功能是選項,不是強制開啟,你可以在設定裡調整。對一般使用者來說,這不是必要功能,如果你不確定它是什麼,維持預設值或關閉都不會影響日常瀏覽。
