Say what you want about the Brave browser, but it's one of the few programs out there browsing in today's dianetwork which sees its users doubling, year after year.

To be precise, Brave reached 50,2 million monthly active users and 15,5 million daily active users in December 2021, according to relevant post on the official website.
Brave, a fairly recent browser, has been reporting usage numbers since 2017. At the time, it had only 1,2 million monthly active users. In 2018 the number quadrupled to 5,9 million monthly active users, and in 2019 it almost doubled to 11,2 million.

THE technology is provided by Jitsi and Brave released it as a free and premium version.
However, we who use Brave, but also other Browser in order to compare their behavior, found that Brave can and does cut ads with good morning, but also cookies notifications with minimal clicks.
