The browser is highly performant, contains (nearly) all necessary (usability and privacy) features and is suitable for beginners.

The search has a nice interface that is usable without javascript, has an onion site and should be low on telemetry. It also (in my opinion) has the best search results after Google. And these search results are Brave’s own results, not just resold Bing results; so they’re actually bringing real competition to the search engine market.
