He still is. One of the reasons I like projects like Brave and Vivaldi is that although I can see/infer some of their staff's politics, the teams themselves understand that they're toolmakers. That the world is a better place if smiths focused on forging good hammers and either left the preaching to someone else or did it off the clock.
Both projects have politics, but those are politics of browsermaking - privacy, lack of tracking, trying to give users more control rather than thinking they should tell you and me how to use their tools, what to think, what to see on the web. Brave and Vivaldi make hammers. And that is good.
