I love that you’re self-righteously typing this out on a computer produced by slave labor, likely involving kids.

You’re better than me for sure.

A bad person can create a good product sure, doesn’t mean we need to support it.

I don’t even think he’s that bad. The worst thing he did was create JavaScript, which is largely fixed now, and the second worst is donate to an anti-LGBT group with his own money. As CEO of Mozilla, he led a very diverse group, diverse enough to kick him out once they found out about his donation.

I personally wish he was back at Mozilla instead of the nonsense leaders they’ve had since he left. I certainly don’t agree with his political views, but he built a great organization and I think Mozilla would be in a better place with him at the helm.

I don’t use Brave as my main browser because I think Firefox is still worth supporting as an independent browser engine, but Brave is my backup if I need a chromium browser.

There’s no sleeve labor involved in producing an iPhone. Unless you completely twist the meaning of the word “slave“ to mean something completely different than what it really means.

As for criticizing self-righteousness, what the hell do you call your entire comment but self-righteous whataboutim?

  Not OP, but your smart phone may not have been assembled with child labor, but some of the components/minerals used in its construction have been tied to child labor in the past.
  
  Most people aren’t OK with that.
  
  What evidence can you provide to support this, or is this simply your opinion?

    Yeah that’s not how this works.
    
    It’s really not, though. Using their “good product“ ends up supporting the bad person. Most people aren’t OK with that.
    
    You made a statement, not I. Either you have evidence that most aren’t OK with that, or you don’t.
