Brave Becomes the Most Downloaded Web Browser in Japan

According to the linked Reddit post, Brave has 2M "recent" downloads, whereas Firefox has 500k. But FF has 100M+ installs whereas Brave is in the 10M+ bucket. Of course, none of this counts the system default browser, which it's unlikely Brave will ever supplant.

Still, having 1/2 as many recent downloads as LINE is impressive.

I've found that Brave is the best web browser for my old Android 4.4.2 smartphone. Firefox is far too slow, Chrome is fast but it doesn't block ads, and those fake VPN ad blocking apps make my phone get hot, drain the battery, and adds an additional troubleshooting step if my internet stops working.
