    Brave is Chromium-based, so Blink-based:
    "#Blink is a browser engine developed as part of the free and open-source Chromium project. Blink is by far the most-used browser engine, due to the market share dominance of Google Chrome"
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(b

    #Chromium #browserEngines #browsers #BraveBrowser

  2. We see that we do have options, that we may have many #browsers, but only a few #browserengines.

    Wether you're using #Vivaldi, #Opera or #Brave, it's the #Blink engine.

    If it's any of the free browsers made for #Gnome or #Plasma, or #Safari for #Mac and #iOS, it's #WebKit.

    #zenbrowser, #librewolf and #floorp are based on #firefox (or the gecko engine) and are safe refuge for people defecting from Firefox.
