Let's not act like Eich was some kind of last bastion of honest software. At the helm of Brave, I've witnessed a lot of very scummy ideas be presented (sure most of them were backpedaled when people were appalled as expected, but they're still pushing the line of what is _just_ not shady enough to be tolerated), and even defended online (even here on HN) personally. Ad replacement, shadow accounts in their BAT "donation" system, the system that collects on peoples behalf without their knowing and will never tell them if under a certain threshold. etc etc. Maybe he didn't try that stuff at Mozilla but let's not make him out as a saint.
