Curious, why would someone use brave over Chromium?
Brave as I understand it is just the Chromium browser at its core. (Similar to how all browsers on iOS are just safari wrapped in a different application layer)

- alibert 5y agoBrave brings: - Native adblocker based on uBlock Origin algo - Proxy all requests to Google based service in use in Chromium such as Safebrowsing - Added anti fingerprinting stuff on some web techs such as webgl, canvas, plugins - Still open source (to be noted: the ads code, server side, is not) - Everything documented on their wiki - Trusted binaries unlike ungoogled-chromium If you can set aside the crypto part of Brave, I believe this is the best Chromium based browser currently. https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-Chromium-(features-we-disable-or-remove) https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-...
- BrendanEich 5y agoWe work closely with uBO folks, but as a browser we got a lot farther than Google allows an extension to go (and with Manifest V3 they're getting more restrictive). See the blog series at https://brave.com/privacy-updates/ https://brave.com/privacy-updates/ and see also the work detailed at https://brave.com/research/ https://brave.com/research/. Thanks.
