The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS.

Yeah but Brave? Why not Firefox or Vivaldi.

For god sakes don’t use Brave. Brave has been caught doing shady shit in the past, and the CEO is a piece of shit on top of that.

Use Firefox with privacy addons.

Brave is garbage. It's a cryptoscam adscam browser based on Chrome. For the love of god, use Firefox (or Vivaldi if you absolutely need chromium)

Chart is a little misleading starting at 7% instead of zero, but still a nice surge nevertheless.

That graph is trash. The baseline needs to be at zero.

Brave would definitely not be my choice 😂

I mean sure I guess... but brave as a browser is atrocious. I don't trust their bullshit at all.

After all who doesn't want a crypto wallet in their browser? that's the safest place for it right?

Reminder that this graph does not start at zero. Still a ~(EDIT: 50)% increase.

I've been using Firefox on my android phones for years though, I don't remember it ever being more involved then setting it as default on the popup on first launch.

Still wouldn't touch Brave Browser due to their past crypto shenanigans.

I hate how they cut off the graph...

They are probably just trying to pump their token with these posts.

That graph looks exaggerated but this is over a few days which is crazy

The axis is somewhat misleading. A jump from 8k to 11k installs is nothing.

Edit: just saw from the comments this is the number of installs per day so its bigger than I thought

Misleading graph trying to make a 150% increase look like a 1000% increase.

That doesn't surprise me, and yes it was always because of anti-competitive practices, so I'm all for more neutrality, I'll just add 2 shower thoughts:

Seeing that Brave is at the top of the browser list, I wonder how many selected Brave just because it's at the top of the list and thought that this must be a good choice then, not because they actually like Brave.
It's nice to have such a thing for browsers, but it would have to be expanded to other apps as well, e.g. mail client. Oh well, maybe in another 10 years or so.

I'm so glad they included a key otherwise I wouldn't know what the green line represented.

I used to use brave before they were soured. Ther BAT token disappearing from my account was another nail in the coffin.

I dont know wtf this is about; I have NEVER had a problem switching default browsers in ANY environment.

To whoever mentioned Librewolf previously as a better alternative to FireFox: Thank you.

Hurry USA! Better find some smallish company to sue for anti trust instead of working on any real issues like this

3,000 people clicked a button out of curiosity or by mistake. If this is statistically relevant for their install base, there really is nobody using Brave. I have as many users randomly come and go into my game on a daily basis.

I don't use Brave due to lack of uBlock Origin support. Otherwise it seems like a decent browser.

But still isn’t it a safari reskin!!

Competition is healthy for a market, this is proof that people aren't happy with the default browser and it'll hopefully spur apple into improving their browser and in turn causing brave to improve even more

Brave is evil.

Honestly I'd expect a much bigger jump

I don't think this is a good thing, brave is good out of the box but do not provide good browsing experience

the graph is a bit misleading even if it's still clearly supporting their claim

And once again, I am seriously questioning Apple's privacy claims. Why else would Apple build such a moat around Safari?

There is zero reason to switch browsers on iOS, They all run the same engine. Safari also has extensions (which I believe 3rd party browsers can't use).
