Brave's deviations from Chromium (features we disable or remove)
There were some privacy concerns, regarding leaking of user information: https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment/issues/76

Scroll-to-text fragments not completely working via reddit
This doesn't make sense. There is no mystery about how scroll-to-text fragments should work. They're documented e.g. here: https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment

Borges: The Library of Babel [pdf]
It's call "Text Fragments", and it was introduced to Chrome more than one year ago. https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment
I think it works in Chrome and Edge, but not in Firefox.

What's everyone working on this week? [2021, week 12]
I kind of want to be able to upvote this post three times: once for the actual projects (which sound really cool!); once for introducing me to the term/joke "rakit"; and once for teaching me about the scroll to text fragment API – I had no idea that was a thing!

DuckDuckGo search engine – The privacy browser is growing rapidly
The most disturbing example of this I found recently is the new auto-highlighting feature Google proposed to the W3C then YOLO'd into chromium before people's concerns were met, because they have control of it and don't need industry approval to get that to happen. Here's an example convo with some of these topics raised.

How Google jumps to a section of webpage without internal linking, during search?
Per web.dev, it is for Chromium based-browsers and other browsers have not signaled intent to support. This is quite a rabbit hole. Very recently there has been some spec discussion if you follow links in the pages I've linked here.

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.

any working adBlock for YouTube?
Firefox or Ungoogled Chromium (needs to update uBlock manually) in Incognito window with unchanged vanilla uBlock Origin with lists updated and no other plugins and without YouTube account. Works perfectly. Also FreeTube.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Using these sort of downstream patch set browsers is rarely a good idea. If it has multiple full-time developers from a respected org dedicated to it, then it can be justifiable (Tor Browser, Brave), but take a look at the gaps in time for these two pages:
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/rel...
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/ch...
There's often days you're going without security patches. If you want a browser without Google tracking, Firefox is a much better choice.

Installing Chrome extension from raw source code
While these screenshots use Google Chrome, they will also work on all 'Chromium' based web browsers, like Brave, Vivaldi, ungoogled-chromium, etc. Window's Edge is also compatible, though some the button locations are changed.

Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn
I would highly recommend the Ungoogled Chromium fork instead: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
