Same here. I've also had Brendan Eich respond to one of my posts on HN - not something I'd expect from any other browser on the market. He understands techies because he is one. I wish Mozilla was headed by a techie and not a lawyer :(
- rchaud 5y agoThe thought of Firefox shilling crypto bux turns my stomach, so I'll have to disagree with you.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoAs others have said multiple times, you can turn off all that crypto stuff in brave and ignore it. They've found a unique way to fund the product, not at the mercy of Google which can only be a good thing right?
- BrendanEich 5y agoAll cryptocurrency stuff is off by default. I personally think it's best to tell the truth and evaluate projects and products on their merit. Thanks for your support!
- meibo 5y agoReminder that there's a reason Brendan Eich doesn't work for Mozilla anymore, and it's not just layoffs due to dwindling userbases. Half of their board stepped down when he was about to be appointed. Decoupling software from the people behind it may be a good thing, but I don't want to support people that work against my interests.
- dblohm7 5y ago> Half of their board stepped down when he was about to be appointed. You mean the same board that appointed him? Yes, a number of board members stepped down around that time, but a couple of those were coincidental timing.

- trts 5y agoThis doesn't remind me of anything. Your comment is just innuendo.
- BrendanEich 5y agoReminder: making up slurs against me because you don't like something about me is lying, and you shouldn't do it.
