I'm slightly ignorant when it comes to software stuff so I want to ask, if Brave is based on Chromium...what guarantee do I have that it doesn't have some sketchy google stuff in it somewhere?,(reply>), Chromium is essentially Google Chrome without the Google stuff (Chrome is built on top of Chromium's source code).<br>And it's an open source project so someone can easily check if there's a sketchy google stuff in the code.,(reply>), Google is on a vast majority of websites via the tracking scripts. Not to mention most cookies tell them who you are. And the fact that you sign in to sites like Facebook and Gmail or YouTube. They already know who you are based on a dozen things other than the browser you use.<br><br>Google wouldn't release that collar around your neck.
