You do know Brave is built on top of Chromium which is funded by Google right? I won't call a browser that relies so much on Google as a sustainable alternative to Chrome.
- modzu 6y agosame can be said for Firefox though (+300 million a year comes from google): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation#Financing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation#Financing
- pixelatedindex 6y agoThe browser rendering engine for Firefox (Gecko) is independent from Chromium, and as such isn't really reliant on Google. Mozilla's reliance on Google is solely for displaying Google as the default search engine.
- modzu 6y agosure the engine is not descended from google code but if mozilla didnt have google's funding they would essentially go bankrupt and consequently ff would go byebye. id call that dependence.
- anonymousDan 6y agoYes but they are at least trying to explore an alternative business model that doesn't fundamentally rely on hoovering up every bit of data there is to know about you without you even being aware most of the time (scepticism of cryotocurrencies aside).
