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

  • 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.
