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 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?

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

You are. Compare the fingerprints of your two browsers: https://amiunique.org, https://coveryourtracks.eff.org. Very likely, the fingerprints are very similar. For anonymity, use Tor.

Hey, what do you think about amiunique.org? Seems to get fingerprinted even when using Tor Browser with Safest security setting. Of course JS enabled on TLD.
I recommend you try out amiunique.org. It gives a slightly better overview.

They are better at some aspects, yes, but also easier to track because of others. So few people use FF that your setup is likely unique, making it very simple to track around the web. Go try a sight like https://amiunique.org/ and test your browser.
