Privacy-oriented blockchain web browser Brave has seen its monthly active users almost double from 5.5 million in 2018 to 10.4 million in 2019.
At the same time, Brave's daily active users have tripled over the past year to reach 3.3 million, the firm announced Dec. 5.
According to the company, the recent growth in MAU follows the release of Brave's new version, Brave 1.0, on Nov. 13.
According to the blog post, Brave expanded its MAU base from 8.7 million in October to over 10 million at the end of November.
Alongside a spike in active users, Brave also recorded a 12-time increase in verified publishers that are registered to receive Brave's built-in tokens - Basic Attention Tokens - for sharing content.
According to data from BATGrowth - a site that tracks Brave browser adoption - the total number of Brave publishers was 341,880 as of Dec. 6.
In contrast, Brave had just 28,000 verified publishers at the beginning of 2019.Brave continues to grow after launching crypto tipping on social media.
A number of reports show that Brave is becoming increasingly popular.
Brave reportedly overtook its major competitors like Chrome, Firefox and Opera in Japanese Google Play in September.
The browser allows users to tip on major social media platforms including Twitter, ad-free video platform Vimeo and social news site Reddit using Brave's BAT token.
