What a long way the browser has traveled Brave
since its launch in beta in 2017. Always faithful to its primary mission of offering a navigation formula devoid of tracking, the company takes stock of a year of 2021 rich in development.
In addition to launching multiple satellite products, Brave is proud to announce that it has grown its user base by 2.2 times in one year.
Pleasing figures for Brave
Now with 50.2 million monthly users, Brave is starting to make its mark among alternative web browsers. It remains well below a Firefox (198 million monthly users) or Microsoft Edge (158 million), but enjoys the most impressive growth.
In its report, Brave counts this figure 15.5 million daily users. We are still (very) far from Google Chrome and its 3.2 billion Internet users, but Brendan Eich, CEO of the company, is happy about it. ” Exceeding the 50 million user mark is an important milestone for our company. It is also a powerful confirmation of the current movement led by Internet users in search of alternatives to the economy of surveillance. He wrote on the browser’s blog.
Designed on Chromium, Brave incorporates an ad blocker as well as various technologies that drastically reduce the amount of data left behind when visiting a website. More original: Brave also offers its users to view non-targeted advertising in order to collect a cryptocurrency (BAT) that can be used to pay creators on the Web. According to the company’s balance sheet, 8 million Internet users have made this choice, and 1.3 million creators have joined the program allowing them to be paid in BAT.
This year, the company also launched Brave Search: its own search engine aimed at competing with Google or, more realistically, DuckDuckGo.
