Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > Repeatedly re-opening a ticket is not a good way to convince people to
 do something

 Repeatedly criticizing something which was not suggested (upstrame
 Chromium/Brave) is the reason for it. So don't blame me.

 > it doesn't include all the privacy features that we need, and fixing
 that would be a lot of work

 Unlike Firefox ungoogled-chromium is 100% private 3rd-party wise. If you
 have any other "privacy features" in mind please clarify.

 > we are constantly patching Firefox, and working with Mozilla to
 integrate most of our patches and use cases directly into upstream Firefox
 so that it's less work for us, and it's not clear that Google would be
 willing to do the same

 The argument that you aim for privacy and are working with Mozilla (a
 company which abuses privacy more and more) but have not even checked with
 Google (so you have no way to know) is really meaningless. In any case
 nobody here is suggesting that you work with Google. This is a suggestion
 to work with **ungoogled-chromium**, so if you would consider this you
 would maybe work with ungoogled-chromium's devs.
