This feels like a betrayal of their ousting of Eich in the first place. I can't imagine a world I would do this and be able to look at myself in the mirror.

The whole organization is a huge mess that doesn't really want to accept any management.

  • They try to make it feel like an “us” browser, but it just comes off as a corp trying to talk cool.

    You 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.

  • Brendan 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.

    No matter from what angle I look at this situation, your complaint makes no sense.

I can certainly imagine such a world. I don't use Brave because I don't want to support Brendan Eich.

  • If 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.

    • Indeed. 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.

      The injection of politics into absolutely everything is so arbitrary and harmful.
