    Bad call, because it's genuinely too hard for someone the size of Kagi, as they've discovered.

    There's room for a Chromium fork that has a better reputation than Brave. (I use Brave, and it's great, but I realise many people don't want to use it.)

      I think currently Helium[1] is trying to fill that niche of a privacy oriented Chromium fork without bullshit and focus on performance.

        There&#x27;s also ungoogled-chromium and it uses similar set of patches: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ungoogled-software&#x2F;ungoogled-chromium" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ungoogled-software&#x2F;ungoogled-chromium

          From their README, it seems Helium is a fork of ungoogled-chromium.
