A comment on Brave Privacy Browser Is Whitelisting Trackers of Facebook and Twitter.

The related commits are years old. This isn't new. Last commit to that line was 3 years ago with the comment "unblocking embedding of twitter timelines".

Also I just realized that is an archived repo that isn't used any more.

I took a quick look through the newer repos and couldn't find any kind of hard coded whitelist like that.

Am I missing something?

Ah, they put an underscore in the var name this time. Thanks for the link.
