I don't know why, but I had a very negative impression of Brave for a long time. I still haven't tried their browser, but the search is suprisingly good! It also uses their own web index, which I find to be very impressive.
Will you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamewar comments to HN? You've continued to do it repeatedly since we asked you to stop. If you keep it up, we're going to have to ban you.
A lot of work on Wine was done by Codeweavers and as far as I know, Valve subcontracted Proton development to them. Both wine and proton are open source and patches flow both ways with a lot of the same people working on both.
I'm not an expert on the topic, and I might be wrong, but nothing I've ever seen suggests there is any animosity between any of the people working on these projects. This is easily a 'everyone wins' story :).
My only issue with protonis that too many folks are referring to proton without knowing about wine, which has caused some misunderstandings and misapplication of credit.
I'd like to see it mentioned somewhere prominently that proton relies on wine.
> Apple has control over your phone, your passwords, your photos, your music, your emails, your credit cards/payment methods. And you can backup nothing of it in a usable way. Without a working Apple account any iPhone is as good as a brick.
This is why no one could ever convince me to buy an Apple product.
