Huge milestone! But that is a drop in the water compared to Chrome though.

Drop in the bucket* or ocean*
(I’m sorry..)
I wonder if they have statistics about the users’ countries, because 100 million is like around 30% of the US population.
There’s also like around 70 million Gen Z in the US too, so assuming that the most likely age range to switch browsers is Gen Z, and that at least a good portion of the 100 million Brave users come from the US, then it’s defensible to say that a good portion of Gen Z is digitally privacy-conscious. Too speculative, though. I wonder if anyone has the statistics for that.

There are study floating around that says Gen Z are as technologically illiterate as baby boomers. But there are some nuances to that. Boomers often face a steeper learning curve when adapting to new tools, while Gen Z usually picks things up quickly.
The difference is that Gen Z tends to gravitate toward whatever is the easiest and most convenient, and most widely used. In practice, that usually means they’re sticking with Chrome or Safari rather than venturing into anything else.
If I were to place a bet, I would guarantee it’s almost certainly millennials. They’ve lived through so many once in a lifetime disasters that they’re probably trying to adapt to strict privacy to avoid the oncoming doom that sure to follow us all.

I doubt they have 100 million users. The number likely refers to the number of active devices on which browser is installed. So someone who installs on their PC and Smartphone, will count as two users.
