Mozilla is a political organization, not a web browser developer. I’ll keep using brave.

  Brave is a cryptocurrency. No thanks.

    I don't see that at all. I've been using Brave for years and nothing to do with crypto. There is a BAT thing, but you can disable it.

      The BAT thing is the cryptocurrency. No thanks.

        I said that, but you can disable it. Can you explain your comment? Is it forcing me to use crypto and I'm not aware of it? Am I mining?

          I'm not interested in handing over my privacy to a company seeking out creative sources of revenue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)#Business_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)#Business_m...

            From your same source > Since April 2019, users of the Brave browser can opt in to the Brave Rewards feature. I have used Brave for years. I've never seen any of their ads and hardly see any other hands since they have a pop-up blocker.

  If Mozilla is a "politcal organization," their whole politics is centered on how to shape the web. And, idk, having a strong position on such ideas seems pretty damn relevant to this conversation. Using "political" like a slur is childish and naive.

  Really? Mozilla is a political organisation and Brave, the very same organisation that hires a fired Mozilla CEO that publicly opposes same-sex marriage, is not a political organisation? Cool.

    Every corporation is political. To pretend otherwise is … American.
    • mrd3v0 3y ago
      Agreed. Just perplexed by the double standards.

  Brave is a man-child’s tantrum that he had to face the consequences of being a bigot.
