Brave might not be FOSS-hostile, but they are still a re-badged chromium with some crypto-stuff on top.



They maintain a more optimized adblocker, fingerprinting protection, integrate the ungoogled-chromium patches without breaking the Chrome extension store nor Widevine, and they offer native IPFS integration.

I disable all the crypto integration and use it because it's precisely "chromium without google services but still usable", all while remaining open source and focusing on privacy, something that Edge, Vivaldi and Opera do not.


More like to the side.

Chromium is leading the market by a wide margin in security.

Forking Chromium is the only current viable way forward.
