Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser
Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 1 year agoA lot of people on lemmy don't care about bigots, crypto, or anything else until something they dislike because it's not en vogue is doing it.
Some dude at Firefox donates $1000 against prop 8? I sleep
Some dude at Brave donates $1000 against prop 8? REAL SHIT
I'm not trying to get into the "everyone is equally bad" thing here, but with projects as large as these if you dig into the history of everyone involved you WILL find some distasteful shit, it's just statistics.
There's a lot of "Brave bad" going around the Fediverse, and people trying to find reasons to support that emotional belief, and stuff like that annoys me.

“some dude” is the CEO. Has the CEO of Mozilla donated money against same-sex marriage? If not, you are the one who is engaging in “poo-flinging”.

That’s literally why Eich was made to resign as Mozilla CEO: his anti-LGBTQ+ history is poison for one hell of a lot of web engineers.

Exactly. The ex-CEO. Emphasis on ex. Mozilla took the right decision, Brave didn’t. That is literally why the “both-sides” argument is ridiculous.

He's probably done some horrible thing

Yes, he stepped down as CEO of Mozilla and is now CEO of Brave. I’m not sure if you’re joking or genuinely didn’t notice that they’re the same person.

Yeah but Mozilla isn't tainted by it? Come on, that's ridiculous. He's not building some anti-gay code into the software, the homepage of Brave (or Firefox) isn't "lol fuck the woke".
Dig into any company, or any CEO, you'll find something to get angry about. People are people. Products are products. Open source products especially so.
