Brave Browser says that such kind of wallet would be effective in overcoming performance issues and security lapses. Which are often associated with browser extensions. Moreover, it claims that the Web3 wallets are the most vulnerable to any security breaches and theft attacks.

Brian Bondy is the CTO and Co-Founder of Brave. He elaborates the features of the native browser wallet:
“Brave Wallet doesn’t need any kind of extensions. Instead brave is a browser-native that removes important performance and security concerns. While preserving the main features of the famous crypto wallets.”
