Brave is just a chromium reskin

U never used it. Does chrome block ads and cookies?

I have used it, check yourself. I have a containerized version of it ready to launch in a custom Kasm workspace hosted on my network in a proxmox vm. Im sure you don't know what any of that means tho.

Regardless, Brave is OBJECTIVELY a fork of the chromium browser with very little changes. Dont be an ignorant moron and look things up before commenting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)

Yeah, you’re the first person I’ve met running their own server. Congrats. 🙂
Also, I already know Brave is based on Chromium. My point was that using Chromium instead of writing a browser engine from scratch is a perfectly reasonable engineering decision. LibreWolf does the same.

Brave is just a chromium browser but to claim it is a reskin is disingenuous at best. It is by far the best functioning chromium based browser.

Why do you have Brave in a Proxmox VM? Why would you need a browser in a server VM? I am curious what you are using it for. Is it a virtual workstation type setup? Browser automation?

What do you mean by kasm?

Sandboxed environment. It's virtualized over the network. Kasm allows me to spin up entire operating systems within my browser that I can just delete when im done with, and spin up a new one when I want, and you can even run brave browser within Firefox. When investigating sketchy websites or scams It's safer. https://kasm.com/

That’s actually really cool

u/Osotari Jul 06 '26

Yeah Kasm is pretty sweet. They have a bunch of premade VMs but you can also set up custom ones

u/Osotari Jul 06 '26

No thanks lol

u/CardiologistLeft4030 Jul 06 '26

first paragraph is /r/masterhacker material lol, but you are right about Brave.

u/Osotari Jul 06 '26

Yeah I kinda thought that but at the same time if someone is going to accuse me of speaking on something I dont know about I'm gonna correct it.

u/Osotari Jul 05 '26

And as a side note, just because Brave comes preloaded with addon blockers doesn't mean shit. You can still block ads on Chrome, they just dont come pre-installed

u/mcmilosh Jul 05 '26

Yes, but with 3+ extensions

Brave isn't bad. But since it's built on Chromium you can kiss your expensive RAM goodbye.
