    YSK: Brendan Eich left Mozilla over his own homophobic beliefs. He is also a coronavirus denier.

    Brave is homophobic Chrome with crypto on top

      And they tried to steal money while claiming it was donations for content creators.

        Yes, honestly the most damning thing they’ve done, selling out their own users

          no the donation money was real. they added in buttons for supporting creators who had not opted in, swapped out affiliate links to go through them, and kept the money “in escrow” until the creator signed up. many people never did, and then they just kept that money they were holding on to.

      I never liked Brave tbh, something about it felt sketchy with all the crypto stuff

      That’s not even the full extent of his homophobia. He also made donations to a politician who said that AIDS is a great thing and will purge the world of gay people.

      He also gave an interview about the whole being pressured to leave Mozilla thing, and said he was disappointed in how intolerant of his beliefs Mozilla staff were once they became public knowledge.

      Yes, you read that right, a man who wanted to strip gay people of their rights cried about fucking intolerance towards him. Clown.

      I could hate JavaScript for free, I’m very thankful Brendan gave me an extra reason

      And he inflicted JavaScript upon the world, completely wrecking the World Wide Web. Fucker should burn in Hell for that, let alone the other stuff!
