This is probably pedantic, but I think the way they actually work is that they integrate all upstream changes, and then disable any behavior they don't want to support? Which means they can minimize their overall divergence, which is what you want for maintainability.
- Novosell 3y agoWhich doesn't really describe a fork to me. At least not a hard fork, maybe the softest kind of fork there is.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoIt is clearly not a fork. They follow upstream Chromium and then apply patches, as explained here: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser#update-brave https://github.com/brave/brave-browser#update-brave. A fork diverges from a point and then doesn't rebase upstream after that. Eich is lying.
