I have almost exclusively moved over to brave!!! The privacy spotlight on the landing page is an eye opener!!! Thank you Brave team for a very accessible and polished prioduct... Well done👍

Literally the only thing I've been using chrome for anymore has been some old saved passwords I can't remember that haven't made it over to brave yet, lol. It's more or less the same experience anyway and I get paid for it...why wouldn't I at this point..??

Yay

Anyone knows if they are planning some sort of messanger built into brave? As a replacement for whatsapp and similar.

id like to see notes as well like Vivaldi.

I also would like a simple, but cool private (end-to-end encrypted chat) directly in the browser.
Hopefully something opensource (jabber, etc) that can be accessed also by other clients.
With support to gifts and emoticons of course! LOL :)

Ive wiped chrome off my home screen but keep it around for the niche things brave is still missing like right click to translate? and uploading images to an ebay listing?

The synchronization still needs some work. When I used to use chrome, I could open history on my laptop and select a device to read a page that I started on my phone, or from my phone, start typing the URL or title that I was reading on my laptop. For now, I have to iMessage the URL to myself.

Yeah sync is the main issue why I haven't switched over to brave on all my net browsing outlets.

It’s almost a deal breaker for me, but Google’s recent ad kerfuffle with Chrome is what was the final straw for me.

BAT=SEX! Im not even biased(I am)!

Stop with the low quality shit posts.

bat is also a slang word in French (possibly only Canadian French) for dick. So you're not wrong
For French speakers: "Mange moi le bat"

I knew it!

it should be faster. ive told a lot of ppl and im sure others have too. nobody ive followed up with had tried it yet. it feels too advanced to a non-techy to switch to a browser few ppl use and theyve never heard of

Tech adoption seems to be this way. I was using Firefox for years before suddenly it exploded. Had friends using twitter when it was nothing more than a way for a group to coordinate stuff through easy mass texting (does twitter even have text msging anymore?). Then one day it's everywhere. 3x yearly growth isn't stratospheric, but it's definitely solid growth that could lead to stratospheric in the future. Only time will tell, but I think Brave probably still has some rough edges needing to be worked out first.

Frankly I also feel 10% growth is nothing particularly amazing for a project of this type... Let's hope it accellerates...

I still wish it had more featuers like the browser opera .. this is why i its still my 2 choice of web browser

Does he need to be a douchebag about it though? Wtf is even the point of the argument

I agree, 10% monthly growth in DAU is insane yet I am somehow still concerned by this tweet because of the strange defensiveness of Brendan.

Yep same here!!! And just being able to open a true TOR tab is a nice addition!! Not having to configure a TOR browser for just a bit better privacy is a plus 👍😎

I guess numbers don't add up. If they had 5 million at Dec 2018. In Oct 2019 with a 10% compounded growth they would need to have over 10 million MAU.
So either the current estimation is not correct or it was not correct the estimation given in December. Even if you consider some % points of churn rate.

Why do you think the 10% started in December 2018?
5
Well you are talking about MAU, Brandan has mostly stopped talking about MAU, shifted to DAU. When monthly was at 5M, daily was around 1M (end of last year, start of this one I think?). So DAU has 3x since then.

You may be right the percentage may be referring to DAU

Brendan sure seems to have a lot of time on his hands.

What other crypto is growing 10% per month? We are all ears.
14
At a bear market :D

As much as I like your sentiment, he’s talking about Brave, the browser. Not BAT the token.

If you would like to answer to my post, I am talking about the price and growth connection, because PPL start to aware to a product after its on the news, for example xyz coin monthly growth is 3425513451324234%(in price), so they find the token first than the product. It is a funtastic news that our userbase can grow 10% in a month next to a declining price, MY 2 BATS edit: oh by the way im deep in BAT and use the browser since the CB listing.

Chainlink and Maker. Through Brave is definately the one bringing in the most users on the front end.
5
Can you prove that Chainlink has real users?
7
Brave is the browser though not the crypto.
I have used the browser but I wouldnt touch the token and im not the only one im sure.

PPL here just like in every other crypto reddit, dont wanna hear the negative points, but this guy has a legit 1.

Crypto skeptics can head to r/buttcoin. No hard feelings fella.
1
Yep they can vote me down but its the truth, lots of people download the browser to use the browser and not to spend the token.

Also 7 million monthly and 3 million daily active users. Brave is becoming the killer app of crypto.
Where is this daily average user stat from? I missed it.
Also, monthly average user is a failure stat. Give me a profile of someone who doesn’t use a web browser every day, who an advertiser wants to talk to.
User above is referencing a recent tweet by Brendan!
We are focusing on DAU now, since that has become a more meaningful measure for browser usage and advertising.
P.S. It is daily active user, not average :).
