    Your friendly reminder that the Brave CEO is Mozillas old CEO, who was fired from Mozilla for being unapologetically homophobic.

      Worse than merely being homophobic, as he financially supported politicians and causes that worked to prevent equal rights.

        Then you can not act on it and those of us who care about such things can. Does that bother you?

          I mean it’s derailed the entire thread so pretty much nobody is talking about the removed feature anymore.

            Are you seriously complaining about different comment threads within a post? That is literally how this works. Anybody who wants to talk about the feature is welcome to. You are not restricted to one thread at a time.

            Be real, you just don’t like the critique of brave.

              I mean, it’s more like I wanted to see more discussion about brave. It’s not even like it’s talking about things the CEO specifically did to the browser, it’s just talking about the CEO.

              And yeah I’m complaining about different threads in a post, when 3 comments are about the browser and like 15 are about the CEO.

              If you have something to say negative about brave from this feature, that’s cool, but I’m not seeing it.

                You are spending more time than anybody discussing this. The person wrote one short comment and here you are going back and forth still. If you want to talk about the removed feature then talk about the removed feature! Nobody stopping you my dude

                  If you’re a shill against Brave then you’re bad at your job. I’m going to check Brave out now because of your offensive and unlikable behavior

              Uhhh…that’s not a meme, as the other guy said it’s virtue signalling. I don’t even know why you would fallback on it being a meme since people generally agreed with what you said.

              If anything I think that makes you sound like an ass but that’s just me.

            For those oh so super valuable virtue signal points, as if most of the services and products they use weren’t created with slave labor and run by people who’ve done far worse

      He wasn’t fired. He voluntarily left. And thus Mozilla is left with an incompetent CEO whose only aim is to increase her paycheck year after year, despite pathetic market share results for FF. Enjoy that.

      That said, nobody cares about your “friendly remainders”. We’re talking about software here, not politics.

      And, to stay on topic, yes, it happened to me that Strict FP broke some website, in particular those displaying a frame with a map or similar stuff. So I’ve resorted to use “standard” FP myself.

          I’m not a shill for Brave. It has its fair share of technical issues but it’s the less worse browser for my use case (better than FF, anyway). Your (or mine) opinion on the CEO has nothing to do with the technical issue discussed in OP’s link.

          And no, what MAGA are you talking about? I’m not even 'murican. Take your meds, dude.

              As someone who is currently inside of mental hospital grounds , reminding people to take their meds isnt bad I’d say . /hj

              On a serious side I feel like this isn’t that bad , as it is more general than using a specific issue as an insult

          I mean, you can grandstand all you want while you have no platforms to safely do it on. Pretty sure having working products for privacy is more important to activism than one guy being an asshole.

              Yeah that’s rarely the only trait someone has that I find objectionable. Homophobia tends to come in a cluster with other shithead opinions

              I’m…honestly surprised you can be on lemmy when you damn products over singular people. Just cause I know there’s people who have tried to dissuade others from lemmy over the developers. And in that case the people involved are even closer to the code than a CEO would be.

                If someone gets fired for being a piece of shit and then hired somewhere else it’s pretty fair to assume that company isn’t great. As they presumably knew that when they hired him and didn’t care.

                It’s also the person running the company not some random employee.

                  Okay

                  But in this entire discussion we haven’t even tied him or his homophobia to the feature change this article is discussing.

              🤔 look, I’m not defending bigotry….

              But an aggressive homophobe seems like the type to be highly motivated to care deeply about working privacy tools these days

              So who exactly do you trust?

          What is beyond my understanding is why every fucking time someone posts some relevant TECHNICAL info or question about that browser there’s always someone else, which appears to be less smart than an amoeba, that feels the need to write the same exaggerate and OT bullshit about the CEO.
