Are there any downsides to becoming a verified creator and/or affiliate with Brave browser?
At one point, he added the "Wikipedia of the alt right" to the list of Brave's search engines. Reason: unknown.

DuckDuckGo browser disappoints heavily in privacy test [German, translation in comments, Kuketz Blog]
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.

Defend against font fingerprinting
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."

FLoC Away from Chrome
>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:
>I'm sorry but we're not supporting an open source solution like this

Or as Brian Bondy, of Brave, put it:
>This is a prime example for why free as in beer is not enough. Small share browsers are at the mercy of Google, and Google is stalling us for no communicated-to-us reason.

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.

MS and Windows gets a lot of (well deserved) hate, but winget is just fantastic!
Take dropbox as an example. This is what the yaml manifest looks like for that if you install it through winget. It literally has a hardcoded link to an .exe installer hosted by dropbox and then just set the flags to silent. I am not spreading misinformation, you are.

Windows is the malware compatibility layer for everything
It's not quite the same though, as there are different considerations when using a repository of things a unified group has decided should be included and built (or slightly modified existing) packages for and a repo where anyone can submit a package that will go through some level of vetting. In the end I still believe most this discussion is really about individuals and how much trust they apply towards different groups and sources and is not really about Linux or Windows in particular as much.

It's probably not on the Store, winget pulls from both the Store and a community collection of manifests on GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

Seven.zip
I think that's part of the problem, if you don't have that package manager to bootstrap your signature key ring, DNS is your next best bootstrap. It is, of course, a terrible bootstrap for trust, but it is one so many users on Windows have been relying on for such a long time.
For power users on any modern Windows 10/Windows 11 there is at least WinGet now. Its manifests repo is becoming a very interesting (open) source of truth for common Windows applications. Admittedly, it in most cases doesn't seem to be checking specific code signatures in most cases either, but at least includes SHA checksums.
For instance, 7zip's manifests: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifes...
It's too bad there's still not a great option for "average user that doesn't know/trust how to use a CLI", given how sadly polluted the Microsoft Store can be for many common, especially Open Source, applications. For direct instance, because winget kindly includes Microsoft Store results when searching, there is a "7zip 22" in the Microsoft Store that costs some amount of money (winget details say "PaidUnknownPrice" for the pricing information; I'm on a corporate machine right now with the actual Store access locked so can't search in the actual Store right now) and the Publisher is listed as RepackagerExpress.com. (That website currently doesn't go anywhere, giving it a spot check.)
Having seen this, I may boot up my personal machine and try to report this specific Store listing for violating the Store's Open Source policies, though I'm unsure if such whackamole is all that useful. (Seems like it might be a useful winget feature request for it to provide Store Report URLs.)
