How can a search engine be "Chrome under the hood"?
The Brave browser is based on Google's Chromium. Presumably they thought you meant the browser and not the search engine
Eww I'm not touching any browsers based on Chromium
Well that leaves Firefox (and it’s forks, too many to list) and safari to choose from.
Chrome, brave, edge, opera, vivaldi and a few more I can’t remember are based on chromium
Edit: realized my mistake about opera and vivaldi
Opera sold its soul some years ago. It is also chromium based.
I keep hearing this but can’t find any basis for this
Yeah, since 2013. It's in the wikipedia entry
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_(web_browser)
I looked it up and corrected my post. Had to change Vivaldi also as it is opera fork.
I honestly thought you were talking about the “opera is owned by china” fud
There's always Lynx. Browse the web like it's 1988.
I forgot about that one. But a lot of people on the web won’t use it since it’s not as “innovative as the others” to them.
Back in my day we had to sacrifice a robot to get Netscape Navigator to dial the internet.
Still better than Internet Explorer.
I remember those days. For that matter I remember when the internet didn’t exist. You wanted to talk to more than one person we had party lines on the landline phones and you had to know who you were talking to in order to call or add them to it.
