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.

(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

Hacker News Needs a Dark Mode
I know you mentioned you don't like extensions, but for those that don't mind Dark Reader is really useful:
I have it setup to enable according to the system. Also, I use the whitelist mode, so I enable on specific websites instead of having it enable for every one automatically.
It's available on mobile via Firefox for Android!

DuckDuckGo breaks Dark Reader?
Dark Reader broke DuckDuckGo, rendering all searches really slow. See https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/issues/11047 -- if you can get them to fix that then we can fix this one.
It would appear that DuckDuckGo web search has recently made changes that breaks DarkReader https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/issues/11325 . Was this an intientional choice made by DDG by applying the darkreader-lock meta-tag as suggested in the comments? If so I'll be moving to startpage or something similar. I use DarkReader with the Dark Solarized setting and am not interested in creating a DDG account in order to choose between Dark or Light modes. This new change has affected me on firefox for both android and Linux.

The aforementioned uBlock Origin in all of them. Furthermore I have Dark Reader, KeePassXC-Browser, Redirector and (since very recently, but might be temporary) SponsorBlock in the browsers in which it makes sense.
