Is there a reason to use brave besides being a contrarian? Why do you trust brave? They've had their own share of controversies. And it's still a chromium browser. Sure they could disable evil feature X, if you trust them to decide which features are evil and Chrome doesn't have a setting to disable that feature, but if Google decided to remove a feature that you liked, Brave would have no way* of adding it back.
* Afaik they aren't really staffed up to maintain a fork so much as tweak settings and repackage

- starttoaster 3y ago> Why do you trust brave? They've had their own share of controversies. Not incredibly relevant, I suggested to use a different browser. If you don't like my suggestion, input your own valid replacement to Google's Chrome. Talk about being a contrarian. You also seem to mistakenly believe that Brave is a child of Google Chrome. Brave is a child to Chromium, and Google Chrome is a child to Chromium. This article states that the Topics API is being added to Google Chrome. I made my suggestion on the assumption that they would have said that Google added the Topics API to Chromium if they added it to Chromium. If the article worded this poorly and they actually meant to say that Google has sunk this in to upstream Chromium, then I cheekily alter my suggestion to W3m or Lynx.
- bagacrap 3y agoGoogle Chrome and vanilla Chromium have little to distinguish them outside of branding. The difference is not one of repositories but of build flags. Suggesting Lynx as an alternative clarifies that your remarks are unserious, or you are out of touch with reality --- charitably I will assume the former.
