This is a new rewrite built into Chromium from scratch. No shared code with the original MetaMask fork.

Brave Wallet supports that use case. Only use your Ledger and connect it to Brave. That will delegate signing of transactions to the hardware wallet. The private key does not leave the hardware wallet.

It's all about being a Dapp browser. The use case is getting access to Dapps.

> there isn't a way to opt-out as far as I have found.

Navigate to: brave://settings/wallet

Set Default cyrptocurrency wallet to None, and set Show Brave Wallet icon on toolbar to off

You could consider using the admin policy for disabling the Tor functionality: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/454

brave://settings/shields and you can change the Trackers & ads blocking setting to disabled.

Some things are very wonky with the experiment:

Brave is intentionally slow on parsing and do as much work there because it doesn't parse from client code, it only use already parsed lists from memory.

"The memory usage of Brave could not be evaluated using the devtools and thus is not included in this section." That doesn't make sense, I wonder if it's maybe using a very old version based on the old muon code base? If you can get the memory from Chrome you can get it from Brave.

No information was given about versions that were tested.

Total parsed rules is too small.

Hi Im Brave's CTO.

There's a balance between breaking the web and being as strict as possible. Saying we fully allow Facebook tracking isn't right [1], but we admittedly need more strict-mode like settings for privacy conscious users.

We do block Facebook at least as good as uBlock origin with EasyPrivacy. The referenced code is in a separate component which does the same as Disconnect blocking.

We're taking this seriously internally and we'll iterate on where we are to improve the situation. We're looking at if we can polyfill a local JS resource instead for example as one option if it doesn't make further requests.

I'm a co-founder on Brave. Brave was actually built on Graphene, which is Gecko at the start, similar to Mozilla's browser.html project which was created by paulrouget, Gozala, and gordonbrander.

We switched to Chromium within the first few months for various reasons including performance and HTML JS based APIs being ready across platforms.

We do want to move to Servo once it's in a more complete state, it just has a lot of years until it is ready.

Linux setup video posted here: http://codefirefox.com/#getting-setup/linux-build-env

There is no recommendation.

There are at least a couple dozen unavailable videos not yet posted. This is not a slip up, but a work in progress. The site is very new and the outline is not even fully posted yet. That being said, I just updated the outline with OS X and Ubuntu planned videos.

Other platforms are coming.

No worries, and thanks!

No offense taken :)

The information in question though, is buried in the about page, as the last category, with a title of Personal Information. If the information in a category is not interesting, just read the title and keep going.

Agreed the plan is to use popcorn.js to do this, I'll also be adding transcripts.

I'll be doing extra videos for Linux and OSX too, and eventually Firefox OS too.

Yep, this is my site and I'm just trying to give a glimpse into who I am. It isn't related to the site but sometime it's nice to hear a tad bit about the person you're listening to if you want to.

That comment is for a totally different study. The study only includes users with an age in their stack exchange profile. It is not related in any way to if they have a social media account.

Actually you are seeing what you want. The social media stuff is about a related study for mining the social media links for top users and not for the expected age study. The expected age study was for all users that have an age in their StackExchange profile.

I only considered acceptable ranges.

I'm the owner of the site, here is the associated blog post that summarizes some of that data: http://www.brianbondy.com/blog/id/117/

I'm the original author of the article.

I'm not sure why this made HN 2 years after posting it, but I wanted to make a comment.

SO has implemented a way to remove the nofollow links, but it is way too strict, and probably only affects a very very very small percentage of answers. I'd bet less than 0.1%.

For example see this answer with 74 upvotes from a user with almost 100k reputation. The links are to MSDN (which is probably not spam by definition) and to a quoted source on techbubbles.com. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2660355/net-4-0-has-a-new...
