Brave Browser goes "full Chromium"

https://www.computerworld.com/article/3328781/web-browsers/brave-browser-goes-full-chromium-by-adopting-google-ui.html

I personally, am happy. I have been using Brave as my exclusive browser on Android for over a year now, and I never liked the desktop version until now. I highly recommend it. It’s lightning fast on Windows 10 and it blocks ads and tracking.

(Side request – can you please, for the love of all things holy, remove the captcha challenge?!)

    <p>I'd like to see how much tracking it actually blocks using a packet sniffer and network analysis gateway. Google Chrome is one of the biggest pieces of spyware commonly installed on computers. How much of the source code does Brave even use?</p>

It says the Electron-Muon parts are going away. Just Chromium will be left afterwards.</p>
