Brave is based on Chromium, and Google Chrome is also based on Chromium. Chromium is an open-source browser project with many contributors, both from and outside Google. Chromium as a common base, with Brave and Chrome executing as extra layers on top. The Chrome layer is proprietary to Google and is closed source. BRAVE, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS COMPLETELY OPEN-SOURCE.
Given that Chromium was a project originating at Google, it contains code that phones home reporting to Gulag. BUT BRAVE REMOVES ALL SPY CODE so that privacy remains protected.
