Depending on the operating system this could be Safari on OSX, Firefox, Brave on basically anything, Opera, if it still exists, Konqueror on Linux (fun fact: I think most current browser engines spawned from that), or lynx if you're hardcore

Isn't it an independent fork?

It's based on Chromium https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/blob/master/README.md

This repository holds the build tools needed to build the Brave desktop browser for macOS, Windows, and Linux. In particular, it fetches and syncs code from the projects defined in package.json and src/brave/DEPS:

  • Chromium
    • [โ€ฆ]
  • brave-core
    • Maintains patches for 3rd party Chromium code.

Opera still exists but it's based on chromium now.
