Google controls Chromium; therefore Google controls Brave.
- tristan957 6y agoThis was overly harsh, but Google has a lot of sway over the direction of the Chromium project which is unfortunate. Sampson from Brave also told me that they have yet to not have a patch accepted by Google. Who knows what the future holds regarding the direction of the Chromium project.
- jonathansampson 6y agoI believe we have had patches accepted by Google. But the idea that Google controls Brave because Google controls Chromium is not exactly right, IMHO. There are a lot of contributors to Chromium, from various companies. And there are a lot of projects that don't contribute to Chrome (or haven't been successful in doing so), but do patch. Brave patches Chromium (as does Microsoft).
