The company didn’t specify how many people were affected, but it corroborated the development and said the decision was driven by the tough economic climate.

“Brave eliminated some positions as part of our cost management in this challenging economic environment.

Several departments were affected, amounting to 9% of our staff,” a company spokesperson told TechCrunch in a statement.

Last month, Brave introduced image, news, and video results as a part of its Search API.

Brave has also been testing a native AI assistant called Leo for its browser.

While it plans to make it available to all users, Brave said that Leo will have a premium tier with features like higher rate limits and access to more conversation models.
