But thankfully you can disable the BAT system and hide the toolbar icon for it. And this "willing ad" is how Brave makes money and stays alive as a company. If you choose to watch such ads, they also pay the website/YouTube channel you watched the ad on. You gain tokens which you can convert to money and cash out on PayPal. :-)Īnyway, the only thing I dislike about Brave is their BAT-token which you can gain by choosing to WILLINGLY watch some selected, non-tracking ads, served via Brave itself. Only Apple gets close with their Mac's Safari browser that also uses machine language based ad blocking. So the native machine language blocker built into the core of Brave KILLS any alternative browsers adblockers. By comparison adblockers written in Javascript as Chrome extensions are dog-slow since those have to run as regular singlethreaded Javascript and have to be re-executed every time you reload a page, meh. It runs natively in the core of the browser in pure machine language. I also LOVE Brave's built in adblocker which is written in pure Rust (native C code), which is blazingly fast. They also have Tor builtin (not as safe/locked-down as browsing via the official Tor browser but still good for some quick tests like if a page refuses to load for you). They have already removed all Google telemetry/spying, but they have also recently looked at implementing every good UnGoogled Chromium change into Brave, to ensure that they will contain every good aspect of UnGoogled too.Īs for Brave's plug-ins, they have Widevine, Flash and so on, fully supported.

But Windows says "TODO" lol).īrave on the other hand is a company which takes full responsibility, and was founded by former Firefox engineers. And furthermore, because they are not a company, but just hobbyists, their browser lacks plug-ins like Flash and Widevine, so you cannot watch Netflix or other DRM video in that browser.
Ungoogled chromium os code#
UnGoogled Chromium has no budget and is a hobby project, with really nice code changes, but no formal organization that takes responsibility for malware-free downloads, so it is out of the picture. I wanted a privacy-enhanced browser based on the ultra fast and reliable Chrome rendering engine (V8 Javascript engine, Blink rendering engine). Pathetic.Īnd yes, I was actually comparing Brave against UnGoogled Chromium, when I found this dealbreaking risk regarding UnGoogled. Someone downvoted you without saying a word.
