Brave has published its latest stats showing it's making progress in search and with the browser.

For the fifth year in a row, we’ve doubled the number of our monthly active users, going from 24 million MAU on December 31st, 2020, to over 50 million by the end of 2021.

Search queries: 2.3 billion queries annualized (went from 0 to 190 million queries a month in less than 6 months, from public access in late June to December 2021).


“Passing 50 million users is a tremendous milestone for our company. It is also a powerful confirmation of the global movement underway led by users seeking alternatives to the surveillance economy,” said Brendan Eich, CEO and co-founder of Brave. “We’ve spent a successful year expanding our product range and our ecosystem, engaging with partners who share our vision for a Web free from Big Tech’s shackles. We have seen an incredible response among our users, creators, and community. We aim to double this growth again in 2022 and engage with even more users who seek a privacy-conscious way to browse the Web that rewards them instead of punishes them with tracking, and helps them directly support creators.”

Good progress, wonder how much their reach is beyond the crypto(currency) crowd.

Agreed, it's the specialist that is building the stats.

It needs to go mainstream to make a bigger difference, but that really is a tough nut to crack. Google has got it sewn up, and even Bing and Edge struggles to break through. Google and Chrome have become ubiquitous.
