Brave browser becoming increasingly popular in Spain, overtakes Firefox

Privacy-focused Brave browser seems to be making huge strides in Spain, where it is currently ranking 10th in the communications category on Google Play Store.

The ranking prioritizes engagement over the number of downloads, which shows that the browser has been increasing in popularity in Europe.

Created to revolutionize the online advertising industry, Brave Browser has seen consistent growth throughout 2019.

While data from the Brave analytics website BATGrowth doesn't break down the popularity of Brave by country, Google Play rankings show that the browser has become increasingly popular in Europe.

According to a Reddit post, Brave has moved from the 26th spot on the Google Play Store in Spain and is currently the 10th most popular app on the platform.

Brave also ranks number two in Japan in the communications category on Google Play store, ahead of Yahoo Mail, Facebook messenger, and Skype.

The browser took over Mozilla Firefox and is preceded by messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, and Discord.

Many Reddit users contested the post, saying that the amount of attention Brave got on the Google Play Store doesn't automatically mean a better Brave ecosystem.

While Brave's jump on the Google Play Store doesn't automatically mean it will overtake the much larger and older Mozilla, it shows that the app has shown consistent quality and was frequently used.
