Local AI agents protect your privacy by keeping inference and data processing on your own device
This privacy comes at a cost: higher battery usage. Agentic workflows use far more resources than typical LLM interactions, even on failed tasks.
To fix this, we built AgentStop.
⚠️ Today's browser update (v1.90.128) contains a fix for a Chromium vulnerability that allows websites to plant hidden scripts via the Background Fetch API.
These scripts survive restarts and could be used to track users, run malicious code on their devices, or launch DDoS attacks on others.
You may have already received the automatic Brave update on desktop. If not, you can manually update by visiting 'About Brave' in the browser's settings.
The Android update is waiting on Google Play Store review and should be out soon.
I use Brave Browser @brave@BraveSupport , and for the last 3 months, Startpage has been my daily search engine. It is so smooth! As I've set @startpage in the Brave!
This is not age verification. It’s just ID verification for account security.
In the past, you’d email your government ID to a support team who manually looked at it.
We built Persona because we think this is bad.
Your data used to be indexed in a CRM that wasn’t built to secure sensitive personal data, and often that CRM or even support team would be the source of the next data breach.
With Persona, your data is uploaded to a platform built explicitly to manage personal data with better security, access controls, and retention policies.
Companies choose us not because of how we verify, but because of our focus on how personal data is secured.
Despite the media attention, Persona’s primary use case is not age verification, but rather account security and fraud prevention. The majority of our use cases are exactly like this.
We have a simple business. We verify your identity securely, retain it for only as long as necessary on behalf of the company, and then delete it as soon as we can.
We’ve published our 2026 Pricing Guide – yes, all the zeros are still zero! And it’s still a transparent one-pager. Find it on https://t.co/geICQJZe4B under ‘Pricing’ in the footer.
