Hello,
is a “Brave Enterprise Edition” in planning (like Chrome Enterprise)?
Best regards,
Mazsuu
I think brave should work on Brave OS, after they have there browser done :).
Following the footsteps of Google is not #Brave.

Nobody is talking to follow Google. It was just an example. You can also take Edge- or Firefox Enterprise Edition.
The enterprise edition has the feature to follow policies made by the company and handle certifications.
To bring Brave to the market and share with the world you need to adapt the industry needs.

Didn’t know Firefox and Edge did though that.
Thanks for the info.
To me I think that a Brave OS would open up a lot more opportunity for Brave software to expand. While your not wrong as far as keeping up with software browser trends.
Brave software to be truly competitive against Google, Microsoft, and even Ubuntu they need to separate themselves, and that might be an operating system that fits a new modern approach to computer software that was made the ground up to be privacy enabled and geared towards individuals and not corporations.

Brave for Enterprise should provide admin tools for mass deployment of different profiles. This seems not being done in Edge Enterprise or Chrome Enterprise.

Reviving this thread: does Brave have any plans to release a truly Enterprise version of their browser the way others have (Google Chrome etc.)? There is potential interest for that at my company and I’m sure others. Thanks.

I 100% agree with the above statements. In a corporate environment where you support 20,000 devices. Enterprise features reduce support labor and allow for Quick Deployment of new features. Like a Managed Bookmark. This will also familiar more people to your product as they can now use it at work.
I work at Dell. They started forcibly uninstalling Brave from user systems because of the VPN and TOR capabilities. Please work with big corporations on a version that meets their policy needs.

@clifton and @Mattches wanted to tag you in just in case you’re able to provide any guidance on this. I know Brave allows for Group Policy for device-level and/or OS-level policies, but that seems to be a tier lower than has been getting requested for some time.

@vaadu if they just want to disable the use those functions, Group Policy should work for your situation.
I suggested something similar a few years ago, that it could be a great perk (opportunity for staff to earn BAT, opportunity to use earnings for charity donations and CSR initiatives, etc). I was told something already existed. Guess this was group policy that you speak of.
@Thrive If you check the link I shared (https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039248271-Group-Policy), you’ll find more details about how Brave’s Group Policy works.
@Mattches, from what I understand, Brave’s current Group Policy operates at a device level, while Enterprise would allow for control at the network level. This would let businesses manage things like bookmarks, extensions, etc., from a central location rather than setting them up on each device individually. It seems like Enterprise would offer more granular control over these settings.
I could be wrong, but based on what others are asking, this sounds like the kind of feature they’re looking for. Any chance Brave might consider something like this in the future?
-EDIT-
As I was seeing the words Device-Level and OS-Level it makes it sound like it is more restrictive. I’m still not sure about how it works in comparison to Enterprise. But when I shared the info on page I linked to ChatGPT and asked about it, I was given the answer as seen below. All of which really makes me wish I could see a good comparison of what Brave can and can’t do compared to Chrome Enterprise.
The information provided focuses on managing policies at both the device-level and OS-level through Windows Group Policy or similar tools. It indicates that this policy management is generally intended for IT/Network administrators using on-site tools, which suggests that the implementation is primarily aimed at controlling settings on individual or groups of devices within an organization’s network (like corporate-managed computers).
However, it doesn’t explicitly limit the management to device-level only. By mentioning “network” in the context of templates and policy application, it suggests that these policies can be applied across multiple devices within a network or organization, especially when managed by IT administrators using tools like Active Directory or other centralized configuration platforms. This means it could potentially be implemented across a server or fleet of devices in a corporate environment, similar to how Chrome Enterprise works in managing settings for an entire organization.
To summarize:
- This information primarily suggests management on the device or OS level.
- It can likely be implemented across multiple devices on a network in a corporate environment, similar to how Chrome Enterprise policies are applied.

Thanks. I was looking at it from a networking level also. It could be great for corporates.
Let me get some more accurate information on this from one of our devs — want to make sure I don’t mislead anyone here (and that I understand what our exact goals are with respect to this myself).
Hi folks
I think we’re always open to the idea of a Brave for Enterprise type of product. At the moment, I’m not aware of this being worked on. Our first step in a new feature or product would be to have a specification. I think we’d need help understanding what the scope of this product would be. cc: @rebron2000
For example, as shared, we (just like all Chromium browsers) have group policy that is fairly easy to configure on Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux). We also recently added the ability to use group policy to specify a custom sync server. Maybe having an out of the box sync service could be part of this enterprise solution? Meaning - the data stored by sync would be owned in-house (to the company using the enterprise product). Right now, the enterprise would need to know how to build the code and configure the auxiliary services used by sync in order to take advantage of that.
Google’s enterprise includes support contracts. Is there interest in having a support contract with Brave for supporting the browser?
Something we are working on is making group policy easier. As shared earlier, we have our group policy page here:
We make the policy templates standard for Windows administration available there and describe how to use the Brave specific ones. We have issues on GitHub tracking related feature requests - for example: adding the Brave specific policies to that policy template zip. We also could do a better job with macOS and Linux - looking at available enterprise management solutions and providing config files that help push these Brave specific settings. I’d be very interested in what solutions folks use for administering macOS and Linux in an enterprise environment - that could help guide us to do better.
