Comment on Kagi is now partnering with Brave
abhibeckert@lemmy.world 1 year agoA lot of people really don’t like Eich. When he was promoted from CTO to CEO of Mozilla, half of Mozilla’s board resigned (one said it was because she refused to be a member of the board that appointed him, the other two didn’t say why they resigned) and there was a massive campaign to get rid of him including websites that showing popups to all FireFox users telling them to use another browser because if Eich.
He lasted 11 days as CEO of Mozilla, and founded Brave after leaving.

You can count me as one of those people so don’t get me wrong; I’m all for not supporting Brave or Eich. I was just curious why this instance where Kagi is paying to use Brave’s search API (which, IMO, doesn’t carry the weight of being labeled a partnership anymore than I’m a partner with Sony because I pay for PS+) among many other companies/products is the dealbreaker for those that use Kagi. And there may be more to the story (or maybe there is an actual partnership I’ve missed) so I’m open to being more informed.
But if thats the root of the controversy, I can respect that even if I didn’t necessarily align with the level of outcry here.
