Didn’t know where to post this, so hopefully this is the right spot. Please boycott Brave. I’ve recently learned that not only is their CEO bad, but their fanbase is toxic, too. I will no longer be using Brave for that reason.

This is illogical but a pervasive argument. Will you not enjoy Michael Jackson’s music when you listen to it because he was a pedo? What about scientists who lived at a time when homophobia was a common cultural norm?

That’s a principled choice. But the fact that you loved that music means that you understand it was good music even though you have made a conscious decision not to listen to it anymore. I dislike and try to avoid Microsoft products but I understand many things they produce are world class. My point is the argument that you should not use something because of the personal beliefs of someone is foolish. OTOH if Brendan Eich went to a protest or implemented an anti gay policy at Brave, it would be justified to boycott.

I don’t enjoy Michael Jackson music anymore since I learned he is a pedo and find outrageous those song are still widely broadcasted.
I guess naked gun isn’t funny to you anymore either because OJ acted in them.

Major distinction: A scientist is not the CEO of the theories they develop, and the use of those theories does not directly benefit them. Plus, almost everyone in that list are dead so they wouldn’t benefit in any way. Compare that to the current CEO of brave being an ass, and the fact that use of the Brave browser directly benefits his company, which he has a direct stake in.
When he is kicked completely off the Brave corporate ladder, the attitudes toward that organization is likely to change, but that’s probably not happening any time in the near future.
Considering he’s the founder and owner you’re probably right about that.
