Following the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) rules that required Apple to add a browser choice screen to iPhones earlier this month, Brave, Mozilla, and Vivaldi have reported a significant increase in the number of people installing their web browsers on iOS devices. The companies attribute this surge to the newfound ability for iPhone users to easily discover and choose alternative browsers beyond Apple's pre-installed Safari. The DMA aims to promote competition and consumer choice in digital markets.

Brave Browser has noted an increase in installations in the EU following the DMA changes in iOS 17.4.

Brave, the privacy-focused web browser, has announced support for Bitcoin in its built-in crypto wallet. The company is also backing the campaign for an official Bitcoin emoji. Users can now store, swap, and manage Bitcoin alongside other cryptocurrencies like Basic Attention Token (BAT) within the Brave Wallet feature on the desktop version of the browser. This move aligns with Brave's commitment to Web3 and decentralized technologies.
