Using a reskinned Google Chrome protects you from malicious Chrome extensions how, exactly?

Brave users don’t use external addons (Brave provides native addons). Then, you use Brave without Chrome Webstore addons.

Hey, I don’t say that Brendan is perfect.

Just to add a little context to this. The Brave CEO donated $1k to California’s Proposition 8 almost 20 years ago (in 2008). 6 years later he formally apologized for it and stepped down as the CEO of Mozilla.

His apology is viewable on his website: brendaneich.com

Some more context, Brendan Eich was the CEO of Mozilla for 11 days due to the massive backlash causing half of the board to step down.
Despite it being so long ago and such a small amount donated, I’m inclined to believe that a leopard doesn’t change his spots, he just hides it better.

Years later, Brave would get in trouble again for rerouting people’s traffic through referral links to make them money.

He also created JavaScript, IIRC.
Big no thanks.
