Perhaps something a Brave Browser dev was involved in at Mozilla? Seems useful but probably is rightfully in plug-in territory IMO.

  Not sure if you are being sarcastic but the Brave browser was made by Brendan Eich one of the cofounders of Mozilla .

    Brendan Eich was also the guy who created javascript. (In 10 days, which probably explains a lot of the warts.)

      He also donated money to prop 8 to oppose gay marriage.

        Hopefully this is one of the things that we stop bringing up in the future. This donation was made by him, in his personal capacity. We only know about it because of political donation disclosure laws and it was dug out 4 years later. There have been zero accusations or complaints that Brendan Eich harmed inclusivity as part of his job. It's a shame he was forced to step down, but we don't need to be bringing this up like it's a mark of shame on his part.

        I didn't know much about him and Googled him out of curiosity to read about his affiliation with Mozilla. It is rather eye-catching to see "Known for: JavaScript, opposition to same-sex marriage[1][2][3][4]" under his photo.[0] Seems very easy to "bring up" unwillingly.

        What does that have to do with the discussion?

  The founder of Brave was one of the founders at Mozilla. Until her became a victim of cancel culture at Mozilla for having a "wrong opinion" 10 years or so ago. Sadly, Mozilla today is mostly a political organization that also publishes a web browser.

    Who would have thought companies don't like their CEO spending their earnings on repressing human rights.

      Do you think you will further your "cause" by making things up?
  - teddyfrozevelt 7y ago
    Homophobia isn't an valid opinion that's up for debate.
    - 101404 7y ago
      That wasn't "homophobia". Do you really want to live in a world where this is the general style of discussion?

With a test pilot they cancelled seemingly. Brave has actually shipped it to all users today.

  The resulting extension is still alive and working fine, though: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new/ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new...
