Ever since Apple started letting users choose the default browser on iOS devices in compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), third-party browsers have witnessed a significant increase in downloads. Last week, Brave confirmed registering a 37.5% increase in installs. Soon after, Firefox reported a surge in user base.
