    I wanted to like Kagi, but their Brave fiasco turned me off of them for good

      Brendan Eich should be blacklisted in the tech world. It’s really too bad that they partnered with a bigot and his shitty company.

      When I was younger, I thought Brendan Eich was a god for creating JavaScript and his contributions to web development. Then he started to speak about his personal views, and he instantly went from a god to an evil villain to me.

      How can somebody so smart be so dumb and evil at the same time?

        Brendan Eich worked really hard to turn himself into just another tech bro incel but Brave is a really good browser and the engineers deserve to not have their accomplishments overshadowed by a weird adult obsessed with other people’s genitals.

        They created a novel and interesting approach to ads with their BAT token and Brave is probably the most private browser you can get if you’re stuck with Chromium browsers.

        As often as I’ve tried to switch to Firefox I always end up encountering issues and going back to Brave. I wish he’d step down so Brave can shine without his bullshit whining hanging over them.

          That’s fair and I can agree. I don’t use Brave, but for everything I’ve heard about it, it sounds pretty competent. The team behind Brave doesn’t deserve to suffer, and the hatred should be to Eich, himself, not Brave as a whole.
