      There’s already ungoogled Chromium.

        I just started using it and it’s great. Partnered with Ublock Origin it’s a decent experience with no bloat.

      There’s no point in it. Brave is just Chromium with their customizations

      I believe someone did and named it the braver browser, but it got smacked down immediately.

        That’s obviously a trademark issue, but forking it should be pretty straightforward. You just can’t call it (basically) the exact same thing.
