• brave-browser

  1,367 16,646 9.9 JavaScript

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

  

I know we like to get the pitchforks out, but, it appears to be accidental:

• brave-core

  174 2,303 10.0 HTML

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

  

I disagree that it's lip service Brave has a ton of engine level privacy patches https://github.com/brave/brave-core/tree/master/patches

To my understanding you can't match it with just js extensions.

Only firefox on the highest security mode comes close I think?

Or ungoogled chromium? (brave has most of their patches IIRC)

Are there other options that have this number of patches?

• Junction

  10 447 6.7 JavaScript

  Application/browser chooser (by sonnyp)

For Linux users, Junction is a FOSS browser picker that works just like Choosy does on macOS. These browser pickers are more flexible than selecting just one default browser, and being able to inspect URLs before opening them is a nice security feature.
