Isn't brave just a chromium flavor?

    Brave did start on Gecko, but migrated to Chromium.

    It is. At least they're not forcing the controversial changes such as Manifest V3 onto their users.

      They very much are. V3 support comes with Chromium, and once Google removes V2 from the codebase they'll have to abide.

      The difference is that it's less impactful since it has a near uBO-level blocker built-in to the browser.

        I think that's the right thing to do. Honestly V3 is pretty reasonable. It's just that uBlock Origin is so important and trusted it should be an exception. It should be built into the browser, only conflicts of interest prevent this. Can't trust an ad company to maintain an ad blocker.
