    I did not know Brendan Eich was ousted from Mozilla and launched Brave because he was a homophobe who funded anti-LGBT+ campaigns 😬

    He also created JavaScript, but I don't see people getting upset and telling others to not use JavaScript.

    Well, JavaScript has a lot of horrible features, but it's ubiquitous and we're stuck with it for the time being. Certainly it's another thing to blame Eich for, rather than something that mitigates his other shitty behavior.

    Neither does Brave unless you specifically opt in to those services. It's open source, you can check for yourself.

    yeah a few of these where made opt in after the userbase backlashed when they made them opt out by default

    they actually have a tendency of making changes this way, i don't see why i should trust them with anything
