At one point, he added the "Wikipedia of the alt right" to the list of Brave's search engines. Reason: unknown.

However, since moving to the new repository in 2017 the described file and functionality seems to be gone, I searched for this in the new repo and even for terms such as "whitelist" and "allowlist" and I cannot find anything.

This issue is tracked by Brave here and here. It looks like it's a low priority, but ScriptSafe might help; "prevent system fonts from being enumerated through elements."

>Google bought widevine last year.

Google bought widewine in 2010

>Google didn't invent that particular DRM, but now that it's widespread, they have bought it outright.

It invented most of it, in the last 10 years it owned widevine.

As for how open widevine is:

Or as Brian Bondy, of Brave, put it:

So yeah, you can fork chromium and make your own nifty browser. But do not expect being able to play any video from any paid streaming service any time soon or ever.

Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

Normally, I'd recommend Bromite as a lightweight Chromium-based browser with built-in adblocking, but the project appears to be asleep right now. It might be worth checking it in a few weeks, though.

Bromite via either its site/Fdroid, GitHub or Woolyss site has a bottom bar available in accessibility settings. (The first one has been unmaintained for a while, but has auto updates available if they ever drop. The other two are up to date but must be updated manually.)

Bromite hasn't been updated since December: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases
