Brave Browser, the open source privacy focused browser by Brave Inc, has reached a historic milestone of 10 million downloads. This is a significant increase from the month of July, where the company had reported 3.1 million active users. The Android version of the browser is currently ranked in the Top 10 “Free Communication Apps” in 20 different countries, including US and Canada.
The news of Brave crossing 10 Million downloads was announced on their official Twitter account.
The increase in downloads of Brave browser and the success of privacy-focused search engine, DuckDuckGo, shows that a number of users are shifting to privacy-related products.
Brave browser is a fast open-source browser, developed by the team behind Mozilla Firefox and JavaScript (the scripting language used for website designing). Brave browser works by blocking all unwanted ads and tracking script by default. The company claims, this causes all websites to load faster (Major news websites like Times and CNN are upto 8.7 times faster). Content publishers are rewarded through the native cryptocurrency of Brave browser, the Basic Attention Token.
Brave might show an increase in user base, but old users are still unhappy with the browser. One of the standard complain against Brave browser is that the UI is old and needs improvement. Moreover, users also criticize Brave’s lack of features notably Password Saver, synchronized bookmarking, and night mode, which is currently a standard in all major browsers.
Basic Attention Token is the native cryptocurrency of Brave browser. Currently, BAT is being traded on more than 30 exchanges including Binance. In August, news came out that CoinBase is looking to list BAT and other projects on their exchange. BAT is currently trading $0.213, a 3.79% increase in the last 24 hours.
