Curious, why would someone use brave over Chromium?

Brave as I understand it is just the Chromium browser at its core. (Similar to how all browsers on iOS are just safari wrapped in a different application layer)

Brave brings:

- Native adblocker based on uBlock Origin algo

- Proxy all requests to Google based service in use in Chromium such as Safebrowsing

- Added anti fingerprinting stuff on some web techs such as webgl, canvas, plugins

- Still open source (to be noted: the ads code, server side, is not)

- Everything documented on their wiki

- Trusted binaries unlike ungoogled-chromium

If you can set aside the crypto part of Brave, I believe this is the best Chromium based browser currently.

We work closely with uBO folks, but as a browser we got a lot farther than Google allows an extension to go (and with Manifest V3 they're getting more restrictive). See the blog series at https://brave.com/privacy-updates/ and see also the work detailed at https://brave.com/research/. Thanks.

DuckDuckGo also has a Chromium-based mobile browser.

I use it on Android because mobile Chrome doesn't support ad blockers (or other extensions).
