Just a reminder that the guy behind @bravebrowser @brave was kicked from Mozilla for being a bigoted piece of shit, and that he continues to be a piece of shit attacking the health care workers who saved millions of lives during the pandemic.

Would you please share a link from another not piece of shit source? I cant read it
I wouldn’t consider Fauci a “healthcare worker”. He’s a fucking millionaire.
That’s like saying: “I don’t consider Patrick Stewart an actor. He’s a fucking millionaire.” Just a profoundly stupid statement. Do you think that Fauci is just some old guy who looks good in a mask? He’s been a doctor for like 55 years. He’s been the director of the NIAID for 40.
“I wouldn’t consider Fauci a ‘healthcare worker’”. Jesus, what a dumb thing to say.
I tried Brave, wasn’t a fan of the notifications.

I liked the aggressive privacy defaults. But I didn’t like how it pushes crypto stuff until you tell it not to.
Thanks for posting, I actually had no idea. Glad I swapped back to Firefox a few weeks ago.
I switch to Brave from Firefox recently and prefer it more. What’s wrong with Brave?
@badgrandpa I linked his COVID denial comments above, but also he is a unrepentant bigot who supports the dehumanization of LGBTQIA+ people and was run out of Mozilla for this.
Brave is literally the browser built on bigotry, brought to us by white men who hate to see one of their own face consequences for such bigotry.
Well is democracy, freedom of speech he can say what he wants. I don’t know how this apply to the software. We all used hardware manufactured in china - totalitarian country - so we shouldn’t use the products made in china?
@badgrandpa
Here is some news for you: free speech has got legal limits.@badgrandpa I’m not going to tell you what you should do about China. I’m telling you why I remind people that Brave is a bit of software funded by VC’s to keep a bigot employed.
I get that you may be cool with that. I’m not. And not enough people know who the CEO is or why Brave was founded.
Also, democracy nor freedom of speech have anything to do with this discussion. I am not the government. I am exercising my rights to call him out as a shit person, publicly.
He already made an apology in his blog. Why do you think he is a terrible person? People can change with new evidence and time. He is a computer scientist, not a biologist or evolutionist. That was in 2014; may people and politicians have already changed their mind now. He clearly stated that he is for inclusiveness.
@badgrandpa btw, trying to point at something you think is worse as a distraction from the discussion at hand isn’t a tactic that works past the age of five or so. Either address the issue or don’t.
I don’t care. I’d rather stop using the internet altogether than going back to FF, its shitty community and the scam that Mozilla is.
Welp. I need a mobile alternative now.
Firefox mobile.
You can install ublock origin in it and block ads just as well as on desktop.

I started using Firefox for Android pretty recently and haven’t had any complaints so far. I remember trying it many years ago on an older device and not being impressed. But the current version is great on my Pixel 6.
@flamepanther @overkill0485 Yeah, using the Flatpak version of Librewolf on my Fedora install and it’s working great. Mozilla has come a long way.
@reflex
I’ve been a fan of their desktop browser ever since they split from Netscape. For awhile, they lost their way a little bit in terms of keeping things light and fast. But Firefox feels really snappy again these days!
@overkill0485@flamepanther @reflex @overkill0485 Add me to the Firefox train. Started using it as my primary browser in January and haven’t looked back.
