Introduction
Brave Browser is known for its aggressive ad-blocking and privacy features. CtrlWeb Mobile Browser offers similar privacy protection but with the added advantage of a built-in VPN. This comparison explores the differences.
Built-in VPN: CtrlWeb's Key Feature
CtrlWeb includes a native VPN built directly into the browser. Brave has no built-in VPN, though it offers Brave VPN as a separate paid service.

- No separate subscription needed (free tier available)
- One-tap activation
- Platform-level integration
- Unlimited with Premium
