- onyva 8y agoTrue about Brave, part of my pasted text (on my phone) is missing. It meant to say like all other similar initiatives, they don’t add anything were differentiation is possible and that’s privacy IMHO. Firefox IS the only browser users can trust these days. The rant about Eich was given in respect to Brave and not Vivaldi. Apologies to the developers of Vivaldi. I said forced not fired. He couldn’t have stayed. There’s no place for racists and homophobes in Mozilla.
