Brave Software announced the official launch of its popular privacy-centric web browser Brave.
Brave is an open-source web browser with a built-in ad-blocker, tracking, and security protection.
It anonymously monitors user attention, then rewards publishers accordingly with Basic Attention Tokens via the integrated Brave Rewards program.
In a blog post, Brave Software revealed that the official version of its web browser is live.
Brave browser is now available for download for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, which widening its accessibility to millions of users.
Brendan Eich, co-founder and CEO of Brave Software, believes that Brave 1.0 is the solution to the "Surveillance capitalism [that] has plagued the Web.".
"Brave is the answer. Brave 1.0 is the browser reimagined, transforming the Web to put users first with a private, browser-based ads and payment platform. With Brave, the Web can be a rewarding experience for all, without users paying with their privacy," added Eich.
Since the beginning of the year, the number of verified websites, which include The Washington Post, The Guardian, and Wikipedia, surged 3.5x. Meanwhile, the number of verified publishers coming from YouTube alone skyrocketed 11x. Brave's rise in popularity can also be perceived in its native cryptocurrency, Basic Attention Token.
With the millions of monthly unique users that Everipedia has, Brave will likely continue to increase its popularity, which is already skyrocketing.
It remains to be seen if Basic Attention Token would catch up with the growth of Brave browser.
