Except they don’t make a browser. They just repackage chromium with some very dubious modifications. Not to mention the bullshit with stealing ad click revenue, and didn’t they have a fucking crypto miner bundled in at one point?
Wait are saying that a fork isn’t a real app but just a repackage of another?
Is something like Ubuntu not an os but simply a repackaged debian?
Even if you dislike brave as a company the browser itself changes more then enough things to be consider different from stock chromium
I never came anywhere close to making the claims you accuse me of. So, frankly, you’re missing some manners. Considering your response to not liking my statement was to immediately put words in my mouth. That is rather rude.
I wasn’t attempting to put words in your mouth you said chromium forks are just repackaged chromium and I asked you if believed the same of other forks.
“Dubious” modifications? You mean the stuff they add to block ads and spoof fingerprinting that works better with just one setting change than any other browser I’ve ever used or tested on such things?
Edit: or maybe it’s the completely anonymous sync they have that doesn’t even ask for an email address, or maybe it’s their continued support for manifest v2 for anyone who wants to double up on adblocking with ublock origin. Or the way they continue to bypass youtube’s adblock detection

They’re absolute crap.

I literally did not say any of that.
" Except they don’t make a browser. They just repackage chromium" What am I missing then?
Are you illiterate?

Sorry if it read that way.
Calling anything chromium base a fork feels disingenuous. It’s a little more than a skin and a built-in add-ons suite.
