Asking for a friend. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 133arc585@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 years ago (1 child) Brave is built on Chromium. So, by default, no they are not safe from this. Without extra effort, Brave will have this feature. I don't know if its feasible but there's a chance the Brave devs can remove the code from their distribution, but that's the best case scenario and just puts them in the same position as Firefox: they get locked out because they refuse to implement the spec. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) I have to imagine they will strip it because if they don't, it'll be dead to all of their users. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 133arc585@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 years ago It may be dead to its users anyway depending on how forceful Google is with this.
