Some people don't want to use browsers based on #Chromium. And it is a choice as valid as any other. But one thing is clear: building a #browser engine from scratch is not a simple task.

Our team maintains and modifies the Chromium code constantly, both to add features and to get rid of #datacollection tools and other stuff added by #Google. And this is already complex enough.

On top of that, we also have to modify WebKit on #iOS - at least for the time being.

Here's a recent interview where nostr:npub1gv8d05f9c55ve9h34rw65v7lvhynvdam5s965m9rajqt9gvk7r8slvuu0q talks about our choices and the challenge of going against #BigTech as a small company:

I hate the fact that Brave does shitcoins, but do you know if their sync method has any vulnerabilities. They claim they can ot recover any of your data if you lose your seed. Unless I'm mistaken I believe your browser takes the more extreme caution of not syncing at all.
