    Their point is that Eich was forced out of Mozilla on what the user claims was a "purity test". Then he went to start Brave and no one seems to care, hence it was all just theater while he was at Mozilla.

    Brave is more than reskinned Chrome. It's one of the only Chromium-based browsers that's both open-source and has some security/privacy features. (E.g. anti-fingerprinting things, an adblocker based on uBlock Origin (rewritten in Rust) built-in (and not as an extension, so will not be limited by Manifest V3).) Eich is not unproblematic, of course (in addition to the anti-gay marriage issue, there is/was also issues of 'covid-scepticism'[1]). And the cryptocurrency stuff in Brave is uninteresting to me (fortunately it's opt-IN though and not opt-out). And I still think, on the desktop at least, Firefox still has advantages over Brave (and even more so over other Chromium-based offerings).
