    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.

          Please don’t tell me you wear adidas (founded by a Nazi), or drive a Ford (made by an antisemite), or listen to Wagner, (a racist), or drive a Volkswagen, or play Minecraft, or use wix, or eat at Chick-fil-A, or…etc etc

            I don’t. But “originally made by” and “currently being run by” are, in my opinion, two different things

      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.

        Nah. I care. You dont speak for me. I cant tell if you’re a shill for Brave or a MAGAt or both.

          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.

        Technology and ethics and politics are not airgapped magically distinct things. Pretending that they are is a strategic political choice you are actively making.

          Ok. I’m a bad person because I enjoy using a given browser. I get that.

          Another one that goes on my ignore list. Bye.

            If that’s what you feel is the case if you don’t separate politics from technology then that sounds like a personal problem to address.

            This is a straw man argument; no one said you’re a bad person for using a certain browser.

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

            This is what they are criticising you about. You could be using Edge or Chrome, it wouldn’t matter here, that wouldn’t make you a bad person. The point is that pretending there is no connection when there is clearly a huge relevance here is massive.

              In the imagination of upvotes-hungry virtue-signaling people, of course.

        Do you hate the Brave CEO for doing the same thing as the Mozilla CEO, but with even less restraint?

        Or are you just whining in hopes that nobody will question whether you’re being a hypocrite

          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.
