Chromium HEVC (x265/h.265) support in linux
Ok I've found this solution in case anyone stumbles across this thread in future. These builds seem to work with hvec (don't ask me what they're doing to compile them, I have no idea): https://github.com/macchrome/linchrome/releases

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 browser simplifies its fingerprinting protections

(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?

Brave cuts ties with Bing to offer its own image and video search results
Chromium is not 100% Google's forever and always, though they do currently lead the way, and with the most used/backed fork.

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

Brave Ads are back? Even when they're turned off?
Brave Private Ads toggle controls just Push Notification ads at this time. So, if you are still seeing Push Notification ads, that would be incorrect. However, it's normal to still see New Tab Page image ads, and/or other ad formats. We are introducing a new UI that helps you better toggle on/off specific ad units, and removing the "Brave Private Ads" toggle that can be confusing: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/18938
