The whole organization is a huge mess that doesn't really want to accept any management.
replyThey try to make it feel like an “us” browser, but it just comes off as a corp trying to talk cool.
replyYou have to walk the walk too Mozilla! Saying that as a FF for years.
Same. The entire company more or less turned on him. Not picking a side, that's your right. But to then start 'borrowing' from someone you refused to work with feels... hypocritical.
replyBrendan Eich didn't personally write the code, and he doesn't benefit from Firefox using it. If anything this hurts him, since Firefox is catching up to an advantage of Brave without investing their own development resources.
replyNo matter from what angle I look at this situation, your complaint makes no sense.
>"their"
replyIt's an entirely different management team.
I can certainly imagine such a world. I don't use Brave because I don't want to support Brendan Eich.
replyIf he showed up in the Epstein files I'd stop using Brave. Until then, I'll keep on rolling my eyes whenever someone brings up this stuff from... 2008.
replyIndeed. I wonder if the folks rejecting Brave have also vetted the political beliefs of everyone that delivers their packages, manufactured their phone, and grown their food.
replyThe injection of politics into absolutely everything is so arbitrary and harmful.
Why should they have to vet everyone? If I learn that the people who deliver my packages, manufacture my phones, or grow my food support practices that I deem fundamentally harmful to society, I change my behavior accordingly. Where does this weird idea come from that I have to vet literally everyone for my rejection of Brave to be valid?
reply> The injection of politics into absolutely everything is so arbitrary and harmful.
Are you referring to Eich, or the people who react to his political choices?
So instead you use, what, Chrome because you want to support Sundar Pichai??
replyYou are literally on a thread about Firefox, and you think someone saying they don't use Brave must be using Chrome?
replyYou are literally in a thread where 90% of the discussion is surrounding chromium and you think this isn’t a connected idea?
replyEdit: also crazy that someone who doesn’t want to support the Brave guy would support the browser using the Brave guy’s stuff, but I guess I see lots of chick-fil-a haters shopping in Amazon these days, so who am I to question what’s in vogue?
If only there was another browser option that was the first word of this thread's title!
replyWell the guy running Brave must’ve had absolutely nothing to do with Brave’s Adblock engine going into Firefox, so I can see why you’re acting so smug. After all, why would the guy involved with Brave be involved with Brave’s thing going somewhere other than Brave? Maybe it’s just random evolution! Excellent point, friend. I can tell you thought it out.
