Your friendly reminder that the Brave CEO is Mozillas old CEO, who was fired from Mozilla for being unapologetically homophobic.
Worse than merely being homophobic, as he financially supported politicians and causes that worked to prevent equal rights.
Since everyone else is piling on negatively, I appreciated your friendly reminder.

So?
What I care about in this story is the technical issues.
technical issues
Well technically the CEO would have an issue with you if you were gay
Lmao
O…kay? I don’t really care lmao
He wasn’t fired. He voluntarily left. And thus Mozilla is left with an incompetent CEO whose only aim is to increase her paycheck year after year, despite pathetic market share results for FF. Enjoy that.
That said, nobody cares about your “friendly remainders”. We’re talking about software here, not politics.
And, to stay on topic, yes, it happened to me that Strict FP broke some website, in particular those displaying a frame with a map or similar stuff. So I’ve resorted to use “standard” FP myself.
The scam company brave? The one that scams people? With their scam based crypto rewards that don’t pay out? THAT brave?
There’s no reason to hate Brave unless you have a political bias against their CEO.
Besides in 2016, when Brave promised to remove banner ads from websites and replace them with their own, basically trying to extract money directly from websites without the consent of their owners
And when the CEO unilaterally added a fringe, pay-to-win Wikipedia clone into the default search engine list.
And in 2018, Tom Scott and other creators noticed Brave was soliciting donations in their names without their knowledge or consent.
And in 2020, when Brave got caught injecting URLs with affiliate codes when users tried browsing to various websites.
Also in 2020, when they silently started injecting ads into their home page backgrounds, pocketing the revenue. There was a lot of pushback: “the sponsored backgrounds give a bad first impression.” Further requests were ignored (immediately closed)
And in 2022, when Brave floated the idea of further discouraging users from disabling sponsored messages.
And in 2023, when Brave got caught installing a paid VPN service on users’ computers without their consent.
Honestly you really should be using Firefox.
Firefox lacks a ton of features and its default settings have terrible fingerprinting protection to start.
Then customize it. Honestly they aren’t all that bad and by using Firefox you ate not supporting google.
I have done that, and it a horrible, it takes more work to make a useChrone.css on firefox than to setup a wm on linux lol
You can also use any of the forks of chromium and not support google, what you said is like telling people not use grapheneos because it is a fork of android.
If we had a working alternative to Android as a whole, we would surely use it. But Linux on mobile works only in few devices and not flawlessly at all. But for the Chromium monopoly we have an actual alternative that works.
Linux on phones already work, just that phonecalls might not work sometimes, but if you are into privacy you might as well not use that anyway lol.
So yeah, time to drop graphene and start using linux on phones, if you managed to get firefox to work you can use linux phones, sure some websites might not work on firefox (that is not fault of firefox, same way not all apps might work on linux) and you may need to do some coding to get some things to your liking (using custom.css files is like settings up a bunch of configs and scripts on linux) and you might need to add a bunch extensions to get basic features (like adding extensions to gnome lol).
fuck brave all my homies hate brave
