Brave vs Chrome – Which one’s better and faster?

 

Brave vs Chrome – A small introduction 

When Brave browser joined the market, many viewed it as a significant threat to Google Chrome. The browser is safe, fast, secure and crypto friendly – which Chrome isn’t so much. According to developers, Brave is trying to fix the internet. They introduced a system that block ads and ad trackers by default, eliminating the need of ad block extensions. These capabilities make Brave a candidate for mass adoption .Due to the unusual model by Brave, many viewed the browser as the next Chrome. Chrome is feature packed with fun extensions. The browser keeps your digital life organized across multiple devices.  By November 2018, Chrome enjoyed a market share of over 50%. By October 2018, Brave browser surpassed the four million active user mark.  According to Netmarketshare, Chromium – the engine that Brave’s build on – have 0.15% market domination. Clearly, there are more browsers under Chromium – so that puts Brave under the 0.1% mark.

The future of Brave is bright though. By January 2019, Brave Browser passed 5.5 million active users. The speed of the browser increased with 22% since 2018 and the Android app passed 10 million downloads. The earnings of the publishers increased 7 times in 2018 and there are now over 28,000 verified publishers that are supporting Brave – including a lot of Youtube channels and Twitch streamers. Here is a comparison between the two browsers that have been projected to fight for dominance in the market.

Brave was created by Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript programming language and the co-founder of Mozilla project, Mozilla Foundation and basically Mozilla’s Firefox. He created Brave because Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Firefox were too focused on speed tests and traditional advertising and not focusing on users. That’s what Brendan Eich made different and neither Chrome and Firefox thought of it.
