No, its not. You don't apply the breaks in your car, do you? Thats why it's called a brake- it reduces (brakes) the recoil of the firearm.
Now, word-snobbery aside, what is the difference between a flash-hider and a muzzle brake, besides the fact that one reduces muzzle flash and the other one doesn't? Does the flash-hider have any impact on recoil (pun intended), and does it also have the problem some poster mentioned of causing a dust-plume when firing from the prone?
