I feel like I recall reading somewhere that there was a lightweight version of the Brave browser in development. Like one with a bunch of the bloat and frivolous options stripped out. But now that I am searching for it, I can’t seem to find any info on it. Did I completely make this up, or is there actually a lightweight Brave coming at some point?

It just takes a little bit of effort researching:

> I like that Brave does good things and improvements like these but on the other hand also feel icky about it being Chromium and it having what I consider unnecessary bloat like Crypto, Web3, and AI elements. Wish there was a way to download a “clean” Brave simply as a functional browser, not unnecessarily feature rich.

It’s called Brave Origin, btw.

Like @anon80329175 mentioned, it’s called Brave Origin, still in development and will be a paid browser.

It seems it will be free for Linux users: [Reddit - The heart of the internet](https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1q1acx6/brave_origin_misinformation_explained/?tl=it)
