In today’s digital landscape, nonprofits rely heavily on robust tools to manage their operations, collaborate effectively, and maintain a strong online presence. Google Workspace for Nonprofits is a leading choice, providing essential tools like Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Meet—all tailored to the unique needs of nonprofit organizations. But while many organizations have embraced Google Workspace, there’s another dimension to consider: the browser they use to access these tools.
With NonprofitPress, we fully support and recommend nonprofits use modern, privacy-focused browsers like Brave alongside Google Workspace. Here’s why combining these two powerful tools can make a significant difference for your organization.
Privacy-Focused Browsers
Brave is one of the leading modern browsers designed with privacy at its core. It blocks third-party trackers and ads by default, protecting users from surveillance and invasive advertising. This not only enhances privacy but also significantly improves browsing speed and efficiency. For nonprofit organizations, where both privacy and performance are paramount, Brave offers a compelling choice.
Fully Supported, Recommended
NonprofitPress is dedicated to helping nonprofits build secure, engaging websites that make an impact. We understand the importance of safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining user privacy. That’s why we fully support the use of Brave as the default browser for organizations using Google Workspace for Nonprofits.
Enhanced Privacy and Security
Brave’s strong privacy features help protect sensitive organizational data and communications. For nonprofits dealing with donor information, volunteer data, or internal strategies, Brave adds an extra layer of security that traditional browsers may not provide.
Improved Performance
Brave’s ad-blocking capabilities lead to faster page loads and reduced data consumption, which is especially beneficial for teams working in areas with limited internet bandwidth or on slower networks. This ensures that your team can access Google Workspace tools quickly and efficiently, even in challenging conditions.
Alignment with Ethical Values
Many nonprofits prioritize ethical considerations in all aspects of their operations, from choosing sustainable suppliers to supporting fair trade. Using a browser like Brave aligns with these values, as Brave’s model rejects invasive ad tracking and supports fair compensation for content creators.
Full Compatibility with Google Workspace
Brave is fully compatible with all the tools offered by Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Whether your team is collaborating on a Google Doc, managing shared calendars, or holding virtual meetings on Google Meet, Brave supports these functions seamlessly – no additional extensions required.
Allow Google Login, Sync Features
To ensure seamless access to Google Workspace tools, nonprofits using Brave should enable the “Allow Google login and sync” feature. This can be done by navigating to Brave’s settings, selecting “Privacy and Security”, and enabling the option “Allow Google login and sync” under “Services”. This will allow your team to sign in with Google accounts and synchronize data across devices, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow while maintaining the enhanced privacy benefits of Brave.
Integrated Privacy Tools
Brave offers integrated privacy tools, such as private search, Tor browsing, and customizable shields to block cookies, fingerprinting, and scripts. These tools allow nonprofits to control their online experience and protect their digital assets from unauthorized access.
