    They’re the same in the ways I care about, which is rendering and javascript engines. I’m a developer, that’s what matters to me. I rarely interact with extra features, and I can get most of what’s unique about a given browser with extensions.

      Right, the rendering engine is the same, that’s still not the browser. Again, just because it’s a derivative browser doesn’t make it the same browser.

        I kinda think it does. I use a gecko browser as my main, and I use a chromium browser as my backup. I don’t use most of the default features, I just need a handful of extensions, and those are available everywhere.

        So to me they’re pretty much the same. Brave is a little different since it embeds an ad blocker, but besides that, the rest of the chromium browsers are equivalent for me.
