> the “reskinned” claim is complete nonsense

With me that's a straw man, I haven't been using the word "reskinned".

The way he mentions Chromium proves my point that it's a distribution of Chromium.

Chrome is a browser because Google has Chromium, and they've chosen Chrome as the name for their distribution of Chromium. But it is also a distribution of Chromium.

I wasn't talking to you when I used "reskinned". Diatomaceous_ooze used "skinned", so unless you are they, why are you replying here? If you are ooze, quibbling over my adding "re-" won't get you far.

"Chromium" is not a distributable binary blob, so you're wrong in your essential claim. We don't distribute the same Chromium bits in Brave as Google does in Chrome. Chromium is open source software. We disable and nullify a lot, as the first document linked in my tweet details:
