p3lib VS brave-browser

I don't think there was a refusal to implement privacy features, so much as that a privacy-preserving DHT is something that is still an unsolved problem. There have been a few efforts at a Tor transport for libp2p - the Berty project is working on one now: berty.tech. You can implement private networks today in IPFS, without using the public DHT. The barrier here is that ensuring user privacy in a peer-to-peer way is very difficult and the harms are real. P3Lib looks promising: https://github.com/hashmatter/p3lib

You'll notice the actual patching itself is introduced with the caveat:

Brave browser, which blocks ads and trackers, grew to over 50 million monthly active users in 2023 while enabling privacy-first models to counter Google's search and Chrome browser ecosystem.

Still waiting on the Brave stable release with the patched version of chromium https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/35013

Manually download the standalone version from: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.61.101 and update it that way.

Upgraded Chromium to 120.0.6099.71. (#34740) (Changelog for 120.0.6099.71)
