The founder of Brave had previously been fired from Mozilla due to his homophobia. Firefox is the more ethical choice.

But it's also perfectly fine for most web browsing, and is the only web browser I've seen with extensions like ublock available on mobile.

He also inflicted Javascript upon the world, which is... well, I almost want to say "even worse" but I don't want to make light of homophobia, so I guess I'll go with "also absolutely reprehensible."

I get that something like that might sway some people, and more power to you if you don't want to in any way support people like that. But It isn't going to affect me personally. I'm the type to separate the art from the artist, ya know? Plus there's more people making Brave than just that one person, so like. I dunno, this doesn't really affect my decision in the long run. I guess I'll just wait and see when the new manifest happens, thanks for your input though!
