I’ve seen a lot of discourse over which browsers we use and I myself have made the switch from brave to firefox. I still use brave as my search engine though, so… which do yall recommend? Is brave’s engine necessarily bad to use? I personally like its ui/theme.
Of course, the brave guy CEO is a piece of shit though. Full on covid conspiracy lab made Fauci pandemic ivermectin type stuff, believes that gay marriage should be illegal while donating to anti-gay orgs, and otherwise uses his position to further far right ideas. He also tries to fund weird micro nation projects with the goal of creating anarcho-capitalist heavens in the ocean. Think bioshock, but crypto bro. All around weird guy
Brendan Eich is a co-founder of Mozilla. So if you’re not going to use Brave because of him. How can you use Firefox?
I’m not, not directly. I’m using the mullvad browser. However, even if I was using firefox that is part of a not-for-profit organization that he is no-longer part of where the money and success do not benefit him. This is different than using a browser whose success gives him money, which he then uses to support causes I am vehemently against.
If using brave did not support him I would accept an argument around my usage of it. It does however.
Apologies for the fact that you’re getting downvoted, that is a reasonable question to ask
Does he profit off of Mozilla (which said profit is going to right-wing causes)?
Brendan Eich is not involved with Mozilla anymore.
Yeah, but he’s one of the co-founders. He did help make Mozilla.
He also created JavaScript though. So by your logic how can you use the web in general?
I’m not against using the stuff he made/helped to make. Because he keep his beliefs and his work separated.
And Mozilla basically kicked him out for his political beliefs, so how is that a reason not to use Mozilla software today?
