F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser
While Graphene comes with Vanadium, their own Chromium-based browser, pre-installed I chose to go with Mull as my default browser. There wasn't anything wrong with Vanadium, it's just that I've been using Firefox (and the wonderful uBlock Origin plugin) on my Linux machine for a little while now and have really grown to prefer it to Chromium-based browsers. In my research I had seen a lot of mentions of Mull and Fennec, both based on Firefox but with further hardening and privacy modifications. This detailed browser comparison chart (produced by the developer of Mull) is what ultimately led to me choosing Mull. It's definitely worth a look at the chart even if you aren't in the market for a new browser!

Is Bromite abandoned?
I came accross Vanadium recently, which seems to have a similar focus on privacy and security and is also chromium based: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium
- What CHROMIUM-BASED browser are you using right now?
-
How can I convince my parents to choose privacy?
I don't know enough about ddg mobile or vivaldi. Currently I use Vanadium (the default Browser of GrapheneOS, but it does not feature content blocking) and this Fork/Automated build of Bromite. It has all the features of Bromite and uses the latest Chromium version, but could be unstable.

You'll have to keep an eye on their github or changelogs or something.

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Unrelated but about Brave and interesting to me: I recently found myself having a large upstream project that I need to maintain some custom patches for, and there's a need for deeper customizations and I worry that my rudimentary system of applying .patch files will turn into an unmaintainable nightmare of merge conflicts after every rebase. I was thinking about possible solutions, and it occurred to me that Brave being Chromium-based must have this same challenge but an order of magnitude more difficult, so I looked for their code to see how they solved this issue.
It's pretty interesting! They do basically the same thing for core Chromium, applying a (big) set of patches[1].
Incidentally, I'd be interested to hear any ideas/approaches to this problem. I'm guessing if there was something clearly better, Brave would be doing it, but it seems like there should be a better way even if I can't think of one.

Brave browser simplifies its fingerprinting protections
https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/13737
(Incidentally, that PR number is not quite elite. :)
-
Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent
I disagree that it's lip service Brave has a ton of engine level privacy patches https://github.com/brave/brave-core/tree/master/patches
To my understanding you can't match it with just js extensions.
Only firefox on the highest security mode comes close I think?
Or ungoogled chromium? (brave has most of their patches IIRC)
Are there other options that have this number of patches?
- With merge of this pull request, Brave Browser disables WebEnvironmentIntegrity

Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn
They have much more changes than just compile flags. Here's the repo where they maintain their patch set: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/tree/master/patches

uBlock Origin 1.50.0
As far as I know, they actually embed it: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/tree/v1.54.44/components...
Although I can't say with 100% confidence because their build system is some ... special

I want to build brave from the source and I am getting the same error repeatedly. Someone, please help. I am new to building apps from source.
The best example I can give you is how you won't get any default Adblock list, and you will have to manually add them as custom lists and update them one by one (they automatically update after 7 days). They are going to workaround that by automatically add the default lists as custom lists, but they haven't done it yet, and the updating part will stay the same. https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/26143
- So long, Edge. Now what?
