About gab-ai-inc/defiant-browser

This is the build repository for Brave Browser, a Chromium-based web browser available on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The repository contains the build infrastructure and tools needed to compile Brave from source, primarily by fetching and synchronizing code from several key projects including the base Chromium engine, Brave's own core modifications, and the adblock-rust ad-blocking engine.

The project maintains its own patches and modifications to Chromium code through the brave-core component, which is mounted at src/brave in the build tree. It also integrates a Rust-based ad-blocking implementation through FFI bindings. The build system uses depot_tools to manage Chromium versions and dependencies defined in package.json and DEPS configuration files.

Brave targets users interested in privacy and open-source browsing technology. The project is actively developed with contribution guidelines and maintains a community forum for support, feature discussion, and translations. Users can download pre-built stable releases from the Brave website, though this repository is primarily intended for developers who want to build the browser from source.
