Damnit. Okay, what’s the next best Chromium based browser? I love Firefox but I have to keep a Chromium browser on hand for the few sites FF just doesn’t handle properly.

Vivaldi was my main browser for a while, and my backup chromium browser since I switched back to Firefox. Most of the privacy stuff in Brave is available as separate extensions and I really like Vivaldi’s sidebar and profile management.

If it works for you, and it’s only a secondary/failsafe browser, shouldn’t feel too guilty to use it.

The founder/CEO actively donates to anti-LGBT organizations, including ones that support conversion therapy. The guy is an awful piece of shit, and any decent person should take whatever steps necessary to not support them.

Thankfully, that’s as simple as not using Brave.

Brendan Eich was a founder. He wasn’t hired. Not sure if anyone can remove him.

How would you feel if a conservative organization mounted a campaign to boycott an entire company because the CEO is gay?

The Brave browser is not itself exterminating gay people, nor stopping them marrying.

Do you drink Fanta? Should we also still boycott Volkswagen and Hugo Boss?

If you apply your boycotting consistently you need to avoid an awful lot of things

(Note, I’m not defending Brendan Eich or his appalling views)
