Soooo... bad PR = bad browser... advertising bad, crypto bad, source of funds bad, anti gay marriage guy bad.... meh I get the reasoning here but.. it's a bit of a reach
The article is rage bait. Eich is a conservative and made at least one donation of a size that I could make, and he partnered with conservatives. He floated shitty ideas in brave then removed them when they flopped.
I probably wouldn't get along with him, but what I see is a history of trying shit and fixing it and also moderate conservatism.
Brave works fine. Firefox works a little less fine if you want a cross platform experience. I'm not switching to Firefox bc this writer is angry, and I'm not switching to Vivaldi because I'm not retarded.
Legit question: what's bad about Vivaldi? I've been trying it out for a few days and I don't see anything extraordinarily bad like Chrome/Edge. Although it might not be as privacy friendly as Brave and FF.
