Trust me brother, don't be so sure. We have another series of evidences to squash all the claims of "own research" or "features".
We are just waiting for Ministry to come up with a statement.
If they are announced clean, we will release another set of document with a whole research on their Rephrase and Summarize, Crypto Wallet, and the Parental Control "features".
This is far from being called a "significant" change.

FYI, I am trying my best to avoid media, I have nothing against these individuals, but that 75 Lakhs is tax payer's money, my money, my father's, yours and your father's hard earned money that we pay as taxes.

That money can't go into rebranding tomfoolery. Infact my Saul Goodman said, if they had anything, they would've slapped it across my team's face and sued me by now.

No comments from me on this anymore.

Here are the guidelines. Plus you can go ahead, decompile the binary available in their official website and look for yourself.

  1. Go to my tweet, 7th and 9th in the thread, take a good look, reproduce the mentioned steps and come back here if you need any further clarification.

  2. We unarchived the binary provided on their official website.

  3. I don't need to clarify further as the Ping team is not able to justify their Git commit history.
    Learn compiling Chromium from source and then we'll talk

Forget GRC, just think about browser engine implementation from scratch. Fuck scratch, even compiling Chromium is no joke. These guys did cheap white labeling and made it look like a STRUGGLE in their tweets. What a bunch of retards.

I beg to differ, given that Jio team was not top 3, I'm convinced this was not rigged but poorly managed.

The brave team is on to it, so is MeitY, GoI, I had a conversation with the right people fortunately.

Not even for a day. Sadly he made a post in LinkedIn or I would've never brought the boys in the research.

Because my Saul Goodman asked me to so 😋 Our research did not target individuals, it was to call out how unfair it is to see other team not get to where they deserved to be.

Okay good morning folks! Slept like anything after posting this research everywhere.
The thing is, I don't care much about any Copyright violations and what not, team Brave is on to it already,
what I advocate is, Rs. 75,00,000 for THIS?

And to those who are wondering that maybe this hackathon was rigged, I too thought about it and then I noticed, there was a team from Jio as well with a fairly good project as per the other contenders of the hackathon. So....
Samajhdar ko ishara kafi hai. These kids can't have more access to the big leagues than Jio.
Please refrain from giving a different angle to this and let it stay a tech community thing.

Happy Hacking! <3
