Which is even more noteworthy because Brave is led by an ex-CEO and influential top exec of Mozilla's.
I wonder if he'd have done the same at Mozilla.

He was kicked out of Mozilla for being homophobic. No joke.
more specifically, it was for donating to homophobic political groups trying to pass Prop 8 which made gay marriage illegal in California [0]
the measure passed by 5% [1] - people were fairly incensed that Mozilla Foundation money (paid to him via his salary) might go to future donations of the same kind
I'm sure people will say things about 'well of course he's legally free to do as he wants with this money' but then so too is the desire by employees to not want to be working under someone who has done something ideologically abhorrent to them. and given the multiple controversies that crop up about Brave seemingly every year where they push some combination of crypto, browser AI, etc, it's probably for the best

And yet the democratic process was subverted by the measure being overruled. Moot point.
Wrong and defamatory. Ouch for your wallet.
