• Chromium
  • Fetches code via depot_tools.
  • sets the branch for Chromium (ex: 65.0.3325.181).
• brave-core
  • Mounted at src/brave.
  • Maintains patches for 3rd party Chromium code.
• brave-extension
  • Mounted at src/brave/vendor/brave-extension.
  • Browser action extension which implements the UI for the shields panel.
• ad-block
  • Mounted at src/brave/vendor/ad-block.
  • Implements Brave's ad-block engine.
• tracking-protection
