Brave Google Play Services dependence #22253
Comments
cc @SergeyZhukovsky, not sure what could be causing this |
Have you enabled Brave Rewards? As I know it, brave uses google play services to prompt the notification ads and for some other stuff. Turn Off brave rewards and see if it stops these notifications. I, too, am on degoogled custom android ROM, with no gsf, play services etc and I do not get such notifications. I have not enabled brave rewards as it being dependent on google plays serves and users reporting getting problems claiming their rewards https://teddit.net/r/brave_browser/comments/r96nzb/whats_the_best_way_to_submit_a_feature_request_i/. But, I likewise have a problem related to brave browser on android due to its dependence on play services #20229. |
It also seems as if brave sync is reliant on Google Play Services. I use a Pixel, and OnePlus 6T with Lineage and no GApps package and in order to use sync it requires play services. Come on guys, drop this dependance on propreitary crap |
Thanks for the report folks - this is a known issue We depend on Google Play Services for Safe Browsing, Brave Rewards, and more. We do have an existing issue for folks w/ LineageOS that you can +1 here: Let's move the conversation there 😄 To recap: this dependence on Google Play Services is expected and we don't have plans to address. |
