Is Chromium bad at the core though? The Brave ad blocker is probably one of the better ones out there too? Turn off the shitcoinery in Brave and it's a pretty good brower imo.

Because many people thought Telegram was somehow a privacy company. They never were. They didn't even have encryption for a long time. Very weird how they got a reputation for something they never even were in the slightest.

Same thing for Brave. People somehow think it was an anti-Alphabet privacy browser. They never were and they were always on chromium. Very weird how they got a reputation for something they never even were in the slightest.
