That’s what he meant.

And what kind of experience are they supposed to have? Like, having 100 years of experience shoving “brave” bloatware into a browser? They are the cobalt developers, and right now they’re doing a pretty good job with an entire browser.
Cobson:
> Well, he criticized Brave for making a paid browser. Seems a bit hypocritical to me since Helium relies on some of the Brave browser patches to function/improve privacy protections.
And how did you even connect one with the other? Does the license require payment for use or does it forbid using their code?
