I just think the idea of your alternative being partially coded by the company you're attempting to avoid is a little stupid. I don't give a shit who he is. I barely give a shit who runs Mozilla.

Brave and every other Chromium fork are at the mercy of Google to exist as an alternative to Google, which to me, defeats the point. Every bit of their effort would be better spent rolling their money over to donate to browser development rather than band-aids.

Tradeoffs have to be made. Android is an example of that..

Chromium can be worked on by anyone, it's just that it's too costly to do
