Really loving how a CEO's political views somehow fucking matter the security of a browser lmao. God I fucking hate this generation
It's just a conversation dude, you can make your point without the need for Reddit style aggression.
The views of those CEO can in some instances be important, those in charge shape the direction of the company and ultimately the product. Look at Twitter for example, once a place of relative free speech, but now controlled by a CEO who bans users he personally doesn't like, demotes content that doesn't fit his beliefs, and prevents linking to other services like Mastodon/Lemmy/Instagram.
I'm not claiming it would, but whose to say similar censorship wouldn't happen with Brave? The CEO has already injected content into webpages and redirected links for monetisation purposes, what if more nefarious actions were taken for content he doesn't agree with?
