  • brave-browser

    Brave browser for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows.

  • It is definitely not a fork. They follow upstream Chromium and then apply patches, as explained here: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser#update-brave. Eich is lying.

  • brave-core

    Core engine for the Brave browser for mobile and desktop. For issues https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues

  • 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

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • privacytests.org

    Source code for privacytests.org. Includes browser testing code and site rendering.

  • Vivaldi is even worse for privacy. You're better off just using Chrome.

  • ungoogled-chromium

    Google Chromium, sans integration with Google

  • I would highly recommend the Ungoogled Chromium fork instead: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

    Entirely volunteer maintained, there is no for-profit entity behind it looking to do crypto referrals or ad swapping or anything like that.
