Are you even aware that Brave uses Chromium basically? it uses Blink engine.


Near enough everyone here knows that. Are you even aware that Chromium is open source and Brendan Eich has said Brave won't be supporting WEI?

Baby, bathwater, etc.



That's a link, all right, but it doesn't refute your correspondent here.

Chromium forked Blink from WebKit, which was forked by Apple from KHTML. We have a fork (or spork: https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1687485972164837377). We could cope if Google were to repudiate Chromium (and violate the FOSS licenses on the sources).
