I honestly only use Brave just because its ads block works well. But man, Brave is fucking ugly.

Are there even any usable Chrome browsers? Mozilla is trying their hardest every day to finish of Firefox off, but it(and it's forks) still seems like the only viable alternative.

Whatever happened to the whole manifest v3 thing that was gonna kill ublock? Was that just a big nothing?

And there's cambridganalytica article. The author hasn't posted on tech, since. The article is still up, which suggest no cease and desist, and no suit was filed. Fear of discovery or cost/benefit. Some say that the article is non-credible because of the lack of supporting documentation, but the public exposure of such documentation would risk outing the mole in Brave, were the article based on a leak, which, given it's claims, would have to be.

Braves strategy, since, has been viral marketing via shills and a paid version that supposedly strips out the spyware.

Chromium doesn't have reproducible builds. Brave is based on Chromium. Take it up with Google.
>if you compile it yourself it strips the branding which proves the actual browser you download is a proprietary trademarked asset not covered by the open license
You heard it here first, Firefox is officially proprietary.
>a truly open source project would never need to execute man in the middle attacks on user referral links
That's not what a mitm attack is and that has nothing to do with open source licensing.
It's obvious you have just arbitrarily decided that you don't like Brave and are reverse engineering reasons that it's bad.

Brave is good.

Le shill lion.
That being said, it is NOT lighter at all.
Their ad revenue model is anonymized, but still doing telemetry out the ass, which hogs resources.
Helium is good alternative if you're looking for a stripped down Chrome with built in uBO

If they respected GNU/+Linux users then Crypto & self-served Advertisements wouldn't even be a part of Brave by default.
If they respected GNU/+Linux users then the Origin version wouldn't be Chromium based.
Looks like you guys eat up any shit they throw at you as well, they just have to fill it with a lot of buzzwords.

Eat shit, Brave doesn't provide reproducible builds for the source code they provide. You're arguing in circles out of sheer stupidity and brand loyalty.

brave-core-ext.s3.brave.com responsible for Shileds update endpoint and must be uncommented during from time to time shilds updates (if needed).

I have pretty advanced managed policy (about 50 entries) which responsible for almost all Brave settings. Yesterday I've installed Origin nightly and must say it's still pretty much RAW.
All polices configured as OK even for components which is not in build. Found some issues with extensions (actually I have only one) and it can't be installed in Origin.

Origin still require a little hardening manually by settings some flags cause default values is not OK for privacy. About 10 mins to set it for the same way as regular Brave.

personally I didn't find any use case for Origin at least for now.

whos not nowadays? vanadium? And what's spyware in case of Brave? Get fucken wireshark or any alternative you like and check by yourself like I did.
I have all ASNs\A-AAAA records which Brave using. I didn't find any suspicious activity. Do you?

shut your fucken mouth troon or jeet.
All you can is to talk shit

while true; do
printf "cryptoSCAM...\n"
printf "one BAT received...\n"
printf "I use firecukck (THEY\THEM KIT) BTW and uIQblock...\n"
printf "Brendan Eich is an anagram of Banned Reich...\n"
printf "GIVE THEM MORE DATA TO SELL. THAT'S HOW THIS WORKS....\n"
printf "BLOATware...\n"
printf "Ungoogled Chromium BETTER...\n"
sleep 1
done

it's not a redpill but better than everything else for some cases.

Right now i'm typing via Mullvad browser

It is, chromium is just generally faster and better performing than gecko always. I couldn't care less about your gay little culture wars and schizo tinfoil hait theories. That's an objective fact.

Now imagine having to download a third-party user.js to make your browser useable
Scratch that, imagine downloading a random ass fork made by a neckbeard living in his mom's basement JUST to have a somewhat decent browser experience (that's still inferior to shit-tier Chromium derivatives like Opera fucking GX)
Yeah, that's the average Fire/Librefox experience in the big '26

Chromium is sabotaging ad blocking and while it works it's not as effective as it is on firefox.
So chrome browsers as you put it are not worth using unless your work requires you to.
