GitLab Community Edition is MIT licensed. I don't know that it gets much more open source than that. I've survived at very very large companies on CE, never needing any of the paid features.

not having multiple approvers on merge requests is a pretty big limitation.

#6I honestly had no idea Brave was an open source.

The existence of paid features at all is exactly what makes it open core.

Probably because of https://basicattentiontoken.org/
For a group that's largely bet their fortunes on internet companies, it's kind of funny that anything crypto is so toxic here, but that's probably the reason.
The actual browser is under good technical stewardship from what I know. It's essentially not-evil Chrome with an optional crypto-for-ads monetization model, a crypto wallet, and some primitive default privacy and adblocking tools.
It suffers from the same technical deficiencies as Chrome (installing addons is harder than it should be, addon API is weak compared to firefox, Google controls the "store" for extensions), but I'd recommend it over any other Chromium-based browser.

Firefox has adopted the Chrome addon api. There are some difference, such as Chrome's changes that weaken adblockers are not being implemented.
The old (insecure) firefox extension api is long gone.
