This has been talked a lot of times but Brave team doesnt care about this, that’s the reality 
If chromium popularity and features is equivalent to Tesla which is arguably great, Brave should develop an engine which is something equivalent to Rimac which is a small Croatian based manufacturing company and nowhere big/rich as Tesla but those cars are Good.
The problem with Brave team is that they think like if they want to create an true alternative to chromium, the new alternative should have all of the features that chromium has it → which is completely wrong in my opinion, they should update the current brave browser with a new tracking link which will help them to know what are the features which are often utilized the most and build the alternative accordingly. If like 55% of the chromium features are never used by the average users then why bother adding development stress to add all of them, so work only on the first 45% of the features which are compulsory.
It shouldn’t be like… oh you have that ? we also have it… this pointless competition is a complete waste of time. i dont know the exact numbers, but if chrome has millions of extensions, the team shouldn’t overthink about how to get those extension developers to get into this new Brave browser’s Blazekit engine and add support, rather they should track what are the top 30 extensions which are used/needed the most and should integrate the features directly right into the browser. Top Example would be Ad blocker, screen recorder, screenshot tool, vpn, black theme, gestures support, fancy sidebar, tabs hibernation, tabs manager…etc… All of this features can be integrated into the browser and both the browser engine dependency as well as the extensions developers dependency will be broken.
There are also more than enough smart extension developers who will make their extension available everywhere if the base and foundation has been strongly set for the new browser which brave team develops as most of the extension developers want their extensions to be available as wide as possible to maximize the profits, so even without brave team asking for support, the extension developers who care about profits will automatically come forward to support it.
And the current chromium based browser doesnt need to be scrapped completely altogether, they can keep this current browser development for atleast next 7 to 8 years and then once the new alternative is ready, they can make the move gradually. By this timeframe, all of the current Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11 will be completely out of support and Microsoft will be going on and on with Windows 12, Windows 13, Windows 14,etc so at this time, it will be great to have this new alternative where this browser is built up from scratch to support all of the legacy operating system starting from Windows 7 to Windows 11 to all the way upto Windows 14 which Microsoft would have moved and dropped support for all of the older windows versions…
I Can Clearly See the Future of Microsoft Windows operating systems evolution, its just going to be more and more prioritized for touchscreen devices, tablets and there will be more stronger android vibes, much more than what it feels now → so while the evolution gets worse, there will always be people who will always like these older operating system which made with keyboard/mouse usage in mind. If you want to better understand this, Look at the way how customization settings are handled between Windows 7/8.1 and Windows 10/11… Windows 7 and 8.1 offers more customizations and the designs are very good as compared to these later operating systems.
While Google will be nodding their head and catering to Microsoft with whatever Microsoft does without any emotions/respect to the classic operating systems, Brave will be able to stand out from the competitors… Even with 8 years of development time, the new engine wont be able to comprise all of the features that chromium offers but having something which is independent is Something.
