So we take Chromium, strip out some (but certainly not all) of the privacy invasion, tracking, and data harvesting, create Brave browser, replace the all the privacy invasion we've stripped out with some of Brave's own privacy invasion, ads, KYC, etc., then take that, strip out some (but again probably not all) of Brave's privacy invasion, and call it Braver browser.
Or..... you could use Firefox which doesn't have all this nonsense to begin with. Seems a pretty simple choice to me. If you desperately need a privacy respecting Chromium fork, then use Ungoogled Chromium.
They aren't just reversing every single change that Brave made in Chromium's base browser that made what Brave is today. They are removing all the unnecessary crap that they implemented to make money or push their own custodian services forward. It's all in the TODO list I linked above (Uphold with their KYC, Ref links, BAT features and their ads, the New Tabs adware, etc...).Or..... you could use Firefox which doesn't have all this nonsense to begin with. Seems a pretty simple choice to me. If you desperately need a privacy respecting Chromium fork, then use Ungoogled Chromium.
I'm not sure what else Brave has besides this, but an example is keeping the Metamask integration and making it "the default web3 wallet". Could we just download Metamask extension in Firefox or Chromium? Of course, but that's another discussion. We could basically make any of these browsers "Brave" with extensions, but they decided to create their own browser for all of this.
