What does politics mean to you? Isn’t every entity covertly or overtly political? What is it about keeping those politics secret that you like so much? Or is it

  Not everything is political, let alone heavily. I could be forging hammers, and in some sense it's a political choice to not sign Erika or L'Internationale at the top of my lungs, but that sort of definition of politics means everything, and is thus meaningless. One reason I like Brave (and Vivaldi for that matter) is that their team understand that their job is to build a tool - a good browser. The team members themselves have political stances that they don't leave a secret, but insofar as the organizations have politics, those are politics related to making a browser, politics of privacy and of more user control. They have different philosophies on how to do that, but both companies understand their job is to make hammers for people to hit nails with. Other things they as individuals believe are not very related to their jobs as hammersmiths, so they leave it out. This is increasingly rare nowadays, and very much worth supporting, IMO.
