  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • uBlock

    uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

  • My main reason to use Firefox or something based on it at least: uBlock origin works best on Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox

  • brave-browser

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

  • Granted, this is only an issue on Windows, but there's been a lot of discussion about it on their GitHub and on their forums. It seems to be par for the course with major browsers to have auto-update enabled by default, as Firefox, Vivaldi, Chromium, and Chrome all do this on Windows. That being said, I also hate auto-updates and wish they were opt-in with all software, on all platforms.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • brave-core

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

  • adblock-rust

    Brave's Rust-based adblock engine

  • Oh, nope. Though it should be noted that Brave's built-in ad-blocker is partially based on uBlock Origin and supports much of the same syntax. IIRC, the only Chromium-based browser for Android that you can actually install uBO on, is Kiwi.
