Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it's a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium.
Cromite has a desktop build, but it's a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting measures (unfortunately breaks some React-based sites that go into infinite re-render loop).
Both of these browsers selectively include patches from Brave, but they are community-oriented builds so imo more trustworthy than Brave, which continues to package various shady anti-features and always will because it's backed by a for-profit company.
LibreWolf[2] is the nicest Firefox-based one for desktop, I think. It's pretty hardcore, though, I most only use it to visit mainstream social media sites.
I tried a bunch of the Firefox-based ones on mobile and none of them clicked for me. Cromite is just too slick on Android. Put the address bar at the bottom and off you go. Only downside is no online syncing of tabs and bookmarks, but meh. You can save all open tabs to bookmark bar in one hit then export your bookmarks, send the file through whatever E2EE channel you want to your other device and import then reopen them again.

The confusing CalyxOS-supplied Chromium
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.

YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Spurs Record Uninstalls
Help starving lone devs keep up important projects.
The big fish are Ublock Origin and AdBlock Plus, as well as YT front ends like yt-dl, Invidious and Newpipe, but by favorite project is https://github.com/uazo/cromite
I think YouTube is eventually going to assert control through Chrome, and the community is going to be caught flat footed with everyone still relying on Chrome extensions.

uBlock-Origin β 1.52.0
Yes, see https://github.com/uazo/cromite
But the history of minimalistic Chromium forks is really sad, as they seem to get little attention and maintaining them requires a ton of work.

Bountysource Stole at Least $17,000 from Open Source Developers
There's fraud and embezzlement in non-profits all the time. Just entering that in a search engine shows tons of examples: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=fraud+and+embezzlement+in+n...
When I was involved in scouts this was a thing as well; not even always due to malice, sometimes also due to incompetence and/or inattention.

Microsoft killed my favorite keyboard
that one is good, but I detest keyboards with their own magic little dongle since it's a damn fine thing to misplace
I'm surprised OP didn't enjoy https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-ergonomic-keyboard... which is currently listed as out of stock but I dunno if that means "permanently" or what, but they seem to be available via 3rd party channels
Its "klacking" aside, pour one out for https://duckduckgo.com/?q=microsoft+natural+elite+keyboard&t... which I loved, although I'll be straight that I love the Surface Ergonomic better because I think its keytravel is much, much nicer and no weirdo + shaped cursor keys, the inverted T like $diety intended

Ask HN: Where are all the touch-based art forms?
Sculpture can be tactile. I know it's not purely tactile, but thinking of it in that way is becoming a lot more common (eg at the Louvre). And then I went to find a URL for the tactile dome at the Exploratorium in San Francisco (https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/tactile-dome) and it turns out there are lots of tactile galleries now:
