    Edit: OP is about search engines and not browsers. Can’t you guys read?

        How can a search engine be “Chrome under the hood”?

          The Brave browser is based on Google’s Chromium. Presumably they thought you meant the browser and not the search engine

              Well that leaves Firefox (and it’s forks, too many to list) and safari to choose from.

              Chrome, brave, edge, opera, vivaldi and a few more I can’t remember are based on chromium

              Edit: realized my mistake about opera and vivaldi

                    Yeah, since 2013. It’s in the wikipedia entry

                    On 28 May 2013, a beta release of Opera 15 was made available,[49] the first version based on the Chromium project.[50][51] Many distinctive Opera features of the previous versions were dropped, and Opera Mail was separated into a standalone application derived from Opera 12.[52]

                Back in my day we had to sacrifice a robot to get Netscape Navigator to dial the internet.

                  I remember those days. For that matter I remember when the internet didn’t exist. You wanted to talk to more than one person we had party lines on the landline phones and you had to know who you were talking to in order to call or add them to it.

                  I forgot about that one. But a lot of people on the web won’t use it since it’s not as “innovative as the others” to them.
