Brave browser switches to Chromium code base for faster performance

After Microsoft opted to use it for Edge last week, privacy-focused browser Brave announced that it has switched to Chromium with its latest release, v.0.57.

The company said it categorizes extensions in three categories for users safety: allowed and vetted, allowed and unvetted, and blocked.

This could be an attractive feature for current Chrome users who are willing to try a new browser, without giving up Chromes niceties.

Google isnt used for search suggestions either Brave relies on an offline Alexa top sites list in addition to your open tabs and history stored only on your device.
