Why we removed our existing Github repos:
The contents of the forks were being cherry-picked for references to the original browser.
Those were then used in legal threats against one of our community devs to claim they're "purposefully causing financial damage to the creator"
Whoever would assume that the threats were "highly standard/normal" may not have considered that one specific dev may have been picked out (as the only non-anon contributor) and may have been presented as a black-hat operator "clearly" sabotaging their multi-million dollar corp.

Remember to change a Github repository's description after clicking the "Fork" button
Or the original's author might use it as "Exhibit A" to try and claim financial damages from you for "purposefully misleading their audience".
Trust me on this one.
A company shouldn't advertise itself as privacy and anonymity respecting if they support sending legal threats to the only non-anonymous contributor of an open-source project.

Spoke with the @BoldBrowser community and the new Twitter owner and Github owner promptly changed their project title and removed all references to that other browser.
I thank them for their quick action to help protect their non-anonymous contributors from legal threats.
We are also removing references to a browser that we previously mentioned from our tweets, as a gesture of goodwill to those who send legal threats to open source contributors.
Due to legal threats sent to one of our community members by a certain party, specifically looking to harm them financially because of what this browser is forked from, we are immediately changing the name and removing all association to "the browser that shall not be named".

Brave is keeping the referral links, but is fixing the 'mistake' in making them auto-populate.
Some developers have had enough and are forking an alternative—scrapping the referrals.

ICYMI: People are mad at @brave. Devs are proposing a fork. It all stems from an auto-generated referral link in the URL bar.

The power of open-source means we can fix this.
