Apple Hong Kong's App Store has been recommending Brave, an anti-advertising privacy browser. It was listed in a recommendation section called "New Apps We Love".
While Apple recommends different apps in different regions, Hong Kong is now an area that seeks more privacy due to clashes between democrats and governments, so demand for Brave, which has enhanced privacy features, is likely to increase. .
In December, Brave reached 10 million monthly active users, up 2 million from October.
On the other hand, there are concerns about future access to cryptocurrencies and dApps from applications.
That's because Apple's application screening standards are high and there are frequent restrictions on cryptocurrency-related features.
In particular, all mining-related apps have been removed, and the other day, Coinbase's largest wallet iOS wallet app was removed from dApps.
Experts have pointed out that Apple may be concerned about using dApps, which may affect other applications.
The application Brave also has a function to implement Ethereum's dApps function MetaMask. The possibility that Coinbase might require the removal of browsing features for dApps in the future is likely to be a concern.
Having used Brave for sometime now I believe the launching and uptake of this browser is one of the most significant step on the side of privacy for the individual and kick back against the corporate control of the internet. Thank you for sharing this article.
