One of Google’s Chrome ’s best alternatives, Brave, has passed 100 million monthly active users. This is a huge milestone for this privacy-oriented browser, which claims that it is “3 times faster than competitors” .
Brave Browser has crossed 100 million monthly active users
Brave says that this milestone occurred on September 30 across desktop and mobile, as the company officially reached 101 million monthly active users.
The company’s CEO and co-founder, Brendan Eich, said: “100 million users represent more than a growth milestone—they constitute a movement for a better Web that puts users first. Across the globe, users are choosing privacy and control over their online experience, instead of Big Tech’s tracking and abuse.”
He also added: “Every product we’ve launched since our browser—our search engine, our premium products, our ad platform—has been built with privacy protections. As we expand our AI offerings, we will continue to design for privacy-by-default, which will fuel our next wave of growth.”
Over the past two years an average of 2.5 million new users joined Brave each month
Over the past two years, the Brave browser has seen an average of about 2.5 million net new users each month. While surpassing 100 million monthly active users, Brave also surpassed 42 million daily active users.
The company also highlighted that daily installs for Brave on iOS in the EU went up 50% with the new browser choice panel. This happened after the implementation of the DMA and release of iOS 17.4 in 2024.
The company also took the opportunity to highlight Brave Search, which is powered by its own, independent index of the Web. Brave said that Brave Search is growing fast, with more than 1.6 billion queries each month, or nearly 20 billion queries per year. It also serves over 15 million AI-generated search answers daily.
