This is an ironically caustic comment on a matter which has plenty of first hand accounting you could link to, but prefer to simply label him as toxic. And IMO, it's extremely misrepresentative, but if you could link to some displays of what you're referring to then I suppose we could debate what you mean by "toxic".

  Considering that hackernews throw a fit every time they see an attempt at monetization via cryptocurrency, and that the guy is seemingly complaining about the same thing, I don't think linking the Brave thing is helping your case...

Brave is not impervious to all criticism. > Daniel Micay attacking the Tor Project for considering use of his hardened allocator That's not what happened at all. He never attacked them for that. He debunked the nonsense that Tom Ritter was posting. The Tor Project never even considered using hardened_malloc either. I suggested that Whonix use hardened_malloc and so HulaHoop (another Whonix developer) asked if this could affect web browser fingerprinting on the mailing list. No Tor Project developer made any indication that they wanted to include hardened_malloc - quite the opposite. https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2019-August/013977.html https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2019-August/0... Have you even read these links or do you just want to mindlessly promote Copperhead?

  I have actually seen mozilla(-sphere) people attacking the reputation of people doimg valid criticisms on their bugtracker. I dont accuse Foundation/Corp members directly. It could be "volunteers".

  As for the last point, anyone can clearly see that Daniel is refuting the fact that jemalloc is insecure. There is no discussion of using hardened malloc at all. Nobody is being attacked for using hardened malloc. Only some misinformation has been corrected as others have pointed out Please read the contents of that link and you'll arrive at the same conclusion
