Ironically, Brave tried to be Firefox based in their early days but they ultimately decided Chromium would meet their needs better so they switched over.

is it their extensions ? why ? i just... i've been searching for hour now, i don't know why...

They go into detail on their blog: https://brave.com/the-road-to-brave-one-dot-zero/

so, if i'm reading it right, they just kind of got into electron and sticked with it ? i get that mozilla is no saint with firefox, but... i don't know man, i'd've been more likely to try to brave if it was ff based...

Hoping manifest v3 ends up being enough of a problem for adblockers that it pushes them to consider moving to firefox.

Brave has already confirmed that their ad blocker isn’t implemented as an extension. It’s not affected by the changeover

its referring to their search engine's ai summarizer feature, i found an article when searching op's title, quite a low effort post really since only an image was shared and no link to any article.. or any description whatsoever.
