The app means the official Signal binary?
// If you have a custom app compile, it's no longer really "Signal".
Why? I thought one could compile an app from the GPL Signal codebase and use it to connect to own server.
They don't want others to connect to them so as to have a high level of security, which includes rapid deployment of state-of-the-art security features across their whole fleet. But any individual or group is free to deploy Signal's code on their own servers and apps.
// They're not like Mozilla that sits 7 years on a ticket.
Suppose a browser is an iceberg. Mozilla has to maintain, improve and develop on the whole of the iceberg. In case of Brave, Google and Chromium developers do maybe 90 or 95% of the iceberg? My understanding is that the Chromium codebase is one of the largest and complex ones ever? I also read somewhere is has a large amount of churn/flux, but not sure.
I'm not saying Brave does not add anything of value, but let's do a fair comparison.
