Is Brave always based on the latest version of Firefox? Or did it branch of at some point in the past?

    Note that only "Brave Beta" is Chromium based (and "Brave Dev").

      Brave was always based on chromium. The UI was based on Muon, but the upcoming 1.0 release switched the UI back to Chromium.

    We are indeed based on Chromium, but differ from Chrome in many ways. Here's a little information to expound on that: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-Chromium-(features-we-disable-or-remove) https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-...

    Actually last time I checked Brave was an electron app so technically based on Chromium but also running in Chromium.

      Brave moved away from that to Muon[1], which (IIRC) was originally very close to Electron, but now[2] actually is just a minorly-patched version of upstream Chromium. They've since moved from Muon to Chromium for the browser chrome[3].
