I don't see how it's any more political than, say, Brave. It's just a privacy and free-speech focused browser. In fact, I believe the Dissenter browser is a fork of Brave with the dissenter extension (comments on every page) built in.

You'd have to dig a little deeper. It's the extension that becomes political. But that's the reason that I didn't personally do anything to mod it. You have to install it and look at the comments to see- I tried it before, and it's
definitely political, IMO. But it's trying to make that a little more obfuscated.
From that first link that Panzer posted above:
This Brave fork was whipped out in literally a few days in response to the recent wave of censorship from Twitter, Facebook, Mozilla etc. Its claim to fame is being integrated with the Dissenter extension (banned from Firefox's and Chrome's extension stores (archive)) which allows you to comment on any article from any website, bypassing their censorship policies.
Emphasis mine. Why was it banned from those stores? Following that thread will lead you to the politicized nature of this. Agree or disagree with the reasoning behind the extension and browser, I don't think it's possible to argue honestly that it is
not political.
There's also the problem of it phoning home to the gab network about every site that you visit, but the privacy concerns if you're using it are disingenous to me. To do what it does, it would
have to phone home.
