The company also dumped Google as the browser’s default search engine in France and Germany, replacing it with privacy-focused search tool Qwant.
As CCN reported, the firm recently filed two formal complaints against Google, arguing that the firm has violated Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However, Brave hasn’t just been building a viable alternative to Chrome, it has also begun to take the privacy fight to Google. “In addition to stellar security, it includes all the usual features you would expect from a mobile browser, including incognito browsing, browser bookmarks, and password management.” “Developers built this browser on Chromium, an open-source project that also serves as the basis of Chrome, so you might notice some similarities with the look and feel of that app,” the publication wrote in praise of Brave. Moreover, the Brave browser has also been earning platitudes from professional reviewers, including Popular Science, as a viable alternative to Chrome and Safari.
To wit, Brave’s Android app has more than 10 million downloads, and the company says that the browser currently has 4 million monthly active users across all devices, up from 3 million in July. Through the partnership, publishers will use Civic’s secure, private KYC service to authorize the payments to their external wallet.įar from a niche piece of software though, Brave has rapidly onboarded users since it launched following a $36 million ICO last year. Last week, Brave announced a partnership with blockchain identity startup Civic to allow verified publishers to accept their monthly BAT payments in an external Ethereum wallet rather than the default one provided by the browser. Recognizing that most publishers do not want to bother with holding and converting cryptocurrency themselves, the service interfaces with trading platform Uphold to automatically convert tokens into publishers’ local fiat currency. Payments are made with Basic Attention Token (BAT), the ERC-20 token issued through the Brave ICO.
