@entropy_is_high You’re welcome! 🙂 And we’re working on containers:

@brave Linux and Brave. nothing else. Would like you to build Container for Brave. Thank you for all of your effords.

Brave blocks annoying pop-ups. Microsoft Edge acts like an annoying pop-up.

On a new episode of #TheBraveTechnologist, GeneGenius chief strategy officer Joseph X Ng explains why the biggest risk in AI is a lack of institutional readiness to govern it. Listen to the full episode, hosted by @LukeMulks, here: brave.com/podcast/e114/

@MatteoStratega Thanks for the review! Glad to hear you’ve been enjoying Brave.

@brave APIs, 3 months in. Plug into Claude Code, your agent searches the web mid-task. Last month it found 31 missing startup websites automatically. Tool Friday #10. Full review: stratega.co/blog/tool-frid…

@kmcboone @gothburz You should be able to download it via Brave.com/download. If you’re running into an error, please let us know!

@gothburz @brave Why won’t my newish Mac allow me to download Brave? I find this highly suspicious

I am the Director of Professional Signal Intelligence at LinkedIn. Every time you log in, we search your computer. Not metaphorically. We run code that scans your installed software. Every browser extension. Every application. We catalog it. We transmit it to our servers. We share it with a third-party cybersecurity firm you've never heard of. The tracking pixel is zero pixels wide. We hid it off-screen. You never consented. We never asked. Our privacy policy doesn't mention it. That's networking. We call the program Project Handshake internally. The Slack channel is handshake-telem. In 2024 we scanned for 461 products. By February this year we scan for over 6,000. I don't know what all of them are. Nobody does. Someone on my team added categories for browser extensions that identify practicing Muslims. Someone added extensions for neurodivergent users. Someone added 509 job search tools. That last one is my favorite. We can tell which of our one billion users are secretly looking for new jobs. On the platform where their current boss checks their profile. That's networking. We scan for 200 products that compete with LinkedIn's sales tools. Apollo. Lusha. ZoomInfo. We know each user's real name, employer, and job title. We mapped exactly which companies use which competitor products. We extracted their customer lists from their users' browsers. Without anyone knowing. Then we sent legal threats to the users we caught. The EU told us to open our platform to third-party tools. We published two restricted APIs. They handle 0.07 calls per second. Our internal API, Voyager, handles 163,000 calls per second. In Microsoft's 249-page compliance report, the word "Voyager" appears zero times. That's networking. I presented our Software Disclosure Rate metrics at a leadership summit last quarter. The conference room is called The Fishbowl. Glass walls. Appropriate. There's a plaque on the wall. Q3 Competitive Landscape Award. I won it for the extension scanning initiative. Someone asked if users had a way to opt out. I said they can close their browser. The room laughed. I wasn't sure why. I browse LinkedIn on a Chromebook with no extensions. Most of the team does. The platform that helps you get hired searches your computer every time you visit. We know your name. We know your employer. We know your religion. Your disabilities. Your politics. Whether you're looking to leave. That's networking. The system works exactly as designed. I designed it.

Machines are about to search the web more than humans do. Nearly 700K OpenClaw users are already there, with Brave Search API as their default. The agentic era needs an independent index. @Brave built one. Want more info? DMs open. brave.com/blog/openclaw/

@ce_aj100 @jedisct1 We do!

@jedisct1 @brave Do we have something to block this abomination

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer browsergate.eu

@hmert @BrendanEich Yep! Response from our VP Privacy: x.com/shivan_kaul/st…

Dear @brave have you seen this? cc: @BrendanEich browsergate.eu

@Brave grew to 112.15M Monthly Active Users (MAU) in March 2026. Daily Active Users (DAU) over 28-day lookback grew 2.6%, back on track after upstream Chromium Android haircut. Monthly New Users (MNU) hit all time high. We also had an ATH on searches, 73M queries on 3/30. 1/5

@TheJadedGenius Brave Search API can be used for free. Each of our API plans comes with $5 of free credit per month.

@brave It's expensive. Some free options exist which do 99% what your API searches do.

Nearly 700,000 OpenClaw users have signed up to use Brave Search API! This is not only a huge milestone for our API but signals a fundamental shift in the internet.

Today's browser update (v1.88.138) contains a fix for a Chromium vulnerability found to be exploited in the wild. You may have received the automatic Brave update already. If not, you can manually update by visiting 'About Brave' from the browser's ☰ menu. The Android update is waiting on Google Play Store review and should be out shortly.

@ARhmankhn Each of our API plans comes with $5 of free credit per month. You can avoid paying for your plan by setting a usage limit equal to your free credits.

@brave @brave but brave doesn't prove free API 🙄
