To build Brave from source you have to download the entire 30GB chromium toolchain. There is no way you or anyone else outside of Google is auditing, or even coming remotely close to understanding that codebase. That's why Brave is so unclear as to whether they will keep supporting manifest v2, because they honestly have no clue what the necessary code is until Google removes it.

My main issue with Brave is not that they use the blink engine from chromium, but that they are also using all the crap on top of it.
The whole UI, everything is chromium, but with some brave patches added on top.
So when Manifestv2 gets removed (which isn't inherently part of blink), they have to remove it as well. They can't even maintain that alone.

Meanwhile Falkon, which is using QtWebKit, also uses Blink from Chromium, but it is really just the rendering-the-webpage part while everything around it is their own. All their Extension interfaces are their own. They have three of those, but none of them is WebExtension, so they don't support chrome or firefox extensions, but you can't accuse them of missing extension capabilities.

Falkon is a little barely maintained browser, so it doesn't have all the things you need and you can't use it as a main browser. But the mindset is right.

/g/ retards like it more because the main dev behind it is a chud, while Firefox is openly progressive. That's it. That's the ONLY reason. This fucking board is dead.

It's just a sad waste of resources.
Brendan Eich is a great guy and every hour he invests into Brave, is an hour he could have invested into a hard fork of Firefox, which would have inevitably replaced Mozilla, because he is a big name in the scene.

Brave is never going to be an independent project. If i want a patched Chromium, i can use ungoogled Chromium.

Who told you that? They were capable of introducing their own content blocker that doesn't run as an extension and is memory safe.

Chromium offers superior security.

They don't. It usually takes them a week to ship critical security patches, and you can do everything librewolf does without compromising on already shitty Firefox security by adding flags to Firefox like arkenfox does.

Honestly, I like the UI of the browser, it's one of the better ones for Chrome forks. I tried Vivaldi not to long ago, and it has some nice features. Page filters are nice.
I'm just too comfy on Brave now to want to change. I only meant it to be temporary thing after leaving Pale Moon, but now, I just can't get into any other browser.

Browser favoritism and brand loyalty, or trolling. This is why some people still praise windows 7.

Lets use >>102924363 as an example. There is no real rebuttal beyond a very, VERY, general surface level view of the browser. There is no depth to the commentary, there is no insights as to why Brave is actually a concern after disabling crypto options, and this particular anon doesn't align himself with any other browser option nor elaborate further. You can tell this is a troll because of this evasiveness. He gains nothing but attention by responding to you in this way because there is nothing else to be gained. His claims are baseless, and his behavior is engaging. Just ignore these ones and talk to anons who provide meaningful feedback.

Funny how the same could be said about Brave's home screen ads, yet you cultists spew foam from your mouth the moment we tell you to disable it with a "single click". Just like Firefox.
