This is why forking Chromium is not a solution. Unless a team is committed to maintaining that fork, eventually they'll be forced to merge in any of the changes that Google wants to push.

The only way a Chromium fork works is if the team is willing to stop merging after they fork and take over development themselves.

Brave isn't a fork, though, it's a downstream consumer of Chromium.

I mean, that's what a fork is, so yeah?

I don't think Brave demonstrates much about that situation.
