Oh no! The browser that forked the browser that a browser made by the largest ad vendor in the world is based on in order to be able to serve different ads is legally threatening a browser that forked it in order to remove said ads?
Did I get this right?
The brave people have always seemed kind of scummy to me. This just reinforces it
That was ages ago
Brave sucks in general. It’s has too much bullshit built in. Yes you can disable it but easier to just use a better browser.
Ungoogled Chromium with plugins > Brave
This is from 2020, I might have to look into whether they abandoned it in favor of ungoogled chromium
Looks abandoned
tbf they only asked to change name. using a name like braver that is so close to brave is bound to cause confusion. it was the case with streamlabs obs.
It was made by a free speech company that supported neo-nazis and white supremacists. They also wanted to replace the coin system.

In April 2019, Dissenter was removed from the Firefox Add-ons website and the Chrome Web Store for violation of their policies that causes the creation of the Dissenter web browser.
Brave never threatened anyone.
brave is also run by a homopobic alt right ass so…
please note: I do not support coil
It’s https://rentry.co/notbrave (?) At least your link ends up on 404, and this one has the content I expected.

This isnt the Dissenter fork, it is a different fork called “Braver”.
It is the same story because the same alt-right people are behind. It also makes no sense to 2 man maintain a browser Vs. an entire Team.
If you want the name trademak story, here it is
They forked it without any change, absolute useless.
