Seriously.

DeepL:

Brave Software, das Unternehmen hinter dem gleichnamigen Browser, wurde von Brendan Eich gegründet. Er ist vor allem als Erfinder von JavaScript aus seiner Zeit bei Netscape Communications bekannt und war später Mitbegründer von Mozilla. Er blieb bis weit in die 2000er Jahre bei der Mozilla Foundation und deren gewinnorientiertem Teil, der Mozilla Corporation. Im Jahr 2014 wurde er zum CEO der Mozilla Corporation ernannt, was zumindest bei einigen wenigen Personen innerhalb von Mozilla und bei vielen Personen außerhalb des Unternehmens sofort zu Gegenreaktionen führte.

Warum war die Ernennung von Eich zum CEO so umstritten? Weil er 2008 1.000 Dollar zur Unterstützung der kalifornischen Proposition 8 gespendet hatte, einer vorgeschlagenen Änderung der kalifornischen Verfassung zum Verbot der gleichgeschlechtlichen Ehe. Eich schrieb 2012, als die Spende entdeckt wurde, einen Blogbeitrag, in dem er sich verteidigte, sich nicht entschuldigte und bestritt, dass die Spende ihn zu einem Fanatiker mache. […]

    If you follow this line of reasoning you can start decorating a cave to live in. Stop guilt tripping people, learn some stoicism.

      And why should one (who may even be homosexual) use Brave which CEO actively tried to deny the right to same sex marriage? Stop being small-brained and learn the bigger picture.

        Use it or don’t use it. But if you tend to avoid services and products when people within a board have an opposing political view, be consequent and make your own live complicated.

        There is no strong correlation between brain size and intelligence, so not sure what to do with your low attempt to insult. I very aware of the bigger picture but strongly oppose your narrow minded tunnel vision. Come smoke some changa with me to get your perspective straight.

          when people within a board have an opposing political view

          THIS. ISN’T. JUST. AN. OPPOSING. POLITICAL. VIEW.

          its a fricking world view that is full of hatred for people that are different WHICH also restrict others when enacted upon.

          I very aware of the bigger picture but strongly oppose your narrow minded tunnel vision.

          clearly you aren’t as you fail to see the consequences.

              How would I do that when I have given away my LEGO pieces a long long long long time ago? The renewed Kiddycraft is way cuter anyway.

                Yeah totally ignore the underlying point. Been using Brave for 10 years on multiple platforms, your tandrum aint gonna change anything about it. Recently downloaded it on my partners tablet as well. She was very satisfied having no adds while streaming.

                Will keep spreading it, might even up my game for it after this exchange.
