Oh, Joy. Brave Hit 100 Million Users.

Right, so apparently some people actually *chose* to use Brave browser. One hundred million of them, if you believe the hype. Fine. Whatever. It’s a Chromium-based browser that throws in crypto rewards and blocks ads. Big whoop. They’re patting themselves on the back about “privacy” while still being built on Google’s engine – don’t kid yourselves.

The article bleats on about growth, how it took them seven years to get there (seven *years*? Pathetic), and how they’re now competing with… well, everyone else. They’ve got a bunch of features like Leo AI (another bloody AI assistant – as if we needed more) and are trying to be all things to all people. It’s just bloatware waiting to happen.

They also mention some partnerships and the fact that they have mobile users too. Groundbreaking stuff, honestly. Look, it’s a browser. People need browsers. Doesn’t mean this one is particularly special. They’re trying to be an alternative, sure, but let’s not pretend it’s revolutionizing anything.

Honestly, I’ve seen more impressive user counts on abandoned Geocities sites. But hey, good for them, I guess. Now leave me alone.

Speaking of useless numbers, I once had to debug a script that counted the number of times someone refreshed a page. It hit 9,999,999 before crashing. The user was convinced it was a sign. A *sign*. Some people are just… baffling.
