And you can say "oh it's still Chrome!" but - Chromium is FOSS, and to me, it shows that Brave focus on what matters (data privacy) and not on what doesn't (writing their own HTML, CSS, JS engine)
but avoiding a browser monoculture does matter. having all browsers built on chromium is a serious problem given the way google treats chrome. see the latest decisions regarding extension support and adblocking all of which will end up in chromium. do you think brave will have the resources to fork chromium to avoid those changes?
- shp0ngle 3y agoPick your battles... easier to cherrypick your own stuff on top of already existing codebase. At least you need to worry only about a small patchset rather than own rendering and js engine just for a very abstract concept of "avoiding monoculture", and instead of focusing on CSS rules and JS optimization and whatnot, you can focus on things that matter for your goals it's not my fight though. If Mozilla thinks burning all these resources on their own engine is a good thing then, burn ahead. there are worst things to burn money on in the end. and it's not my money... At least rust came out of all that.
