Brave has an openly homophobic founder, it’s weird to me that they’d mention the crypto issues and not this
Yes, I did it oftn. But main reason to avoid Brave is the somewhat fishy Crypto Policy and the betrayal of users in the past, redirecting searches to related crypto companies, which shows dubious business ethics regarding the user. For me Brave is simply not trustworth.
My main issue with it is the fact that the company has shown it is willing to cross boundaries.
Much better reasons than insinuating a piece of software is homophobic.
Homophobic the CEO Eich, but for the user it's more important the ethics of the company, questionable in Brave.
Yes. I'm agreeing.
And Microsoft has a habit of interfering with democracies and bribing governments. Let's not pretend any big tech is a saint. The difference between dumb billionaires like Eich and Musk and others is that they have bad PR.
I don’t like Microsoft either and I’m not sure the relevance of you bringing this up, is this trolling?
It's not trolling. Eich is a scumbag but if you ditch Brave, right now your only real options and Microsoft Bing and Google. And I think MS and Google do way more bad to the world than Eich. How many MS nd Google executives do you think are right wingers donating to anti gay groups? Definitely not zero.
I disagree that those are the only options, even in the video we are commenting on they name some others
who cares
plenty of people?
