    Ironically, Brave tried to be Firefox based in their early days but they ultimately decided Chromium would meet their needs better so they switched over.

          so, if i’m reading it right, they just kind of got into electron and sticked with it ? i get that mozilla is no saint with firefox, but… i don’t know man, i’d’ve been more likely to try to brave if it was ff based…

        its referring to their search engine’s ai summarizer feature, i found an article when searching op’s title, quite a low effort post really since only an image was shared and no link to any article… or any description whatsoever.
