They're obviously making up their numbers, probably by 10-100x.
Steam is somewhere between 95-105m real MAU, and publishes only real numbers on its games. I know lots of Steam users, many more than 5. I know zero Brave users. Really, there's no way it is anywhere near as popular as they claim.

Again, another huge red flag. There's nothing special about Brave browser. It just means there is some adversary, like bots, clicking ads, or they are lying.
I'm sure people will downvote this, or talk about whom they know uses Brave. Whatever. I would love to see a real audited number here.
It's fast and blocks ads - that's quite a draw.
Ublock origin is an extension, so accessing the options menu feels a bit janky on mobile as the options are shown in default HTML styling, and you need a couple more clicks to turn off scripts.
Alternative explanation: you live in a bubble.
Or maybe anecdotes do not tell the whole story.
