    A bad person can create a good product. It’s that simple.

    Also, I love that you’re self-righteously typing this out on a computer produced by slave labor, likely involving kids.

    You’re better than me for sure.

      I don’t even think he’s that bad. The worst thing he did was create JavaScript, which is largely fixed now, and the second worst is donate to an anti-LGBT group with his own money. As CEO of Mozilla, he led a very diverse group, diverse enough to kick him out once they found out about his donation.

      I personally wish he was back at Mozilla instead of the nonsense leaders they’ve had since he left. I certainly don’t agree with his political views, but he built a great organization and I think Mozilla would be in a better place with him at the helm.

      I don’t use Brave as my main browser because I think Firefox is still worth supporting as an independent browser engine, but Brave is my backup if I need a chromium browser.

      There’s no slave labor (nor children) involved in producing an iPhone. Unless you completely twist the meaning of the word “slave“ to mean something completely different than what it really means. Of course, unless you have proof that child slaves built my iPhone. I’m pretty sure you don’t.

      As for criticizing self-righteousness, what the hell do you call your entire comment but self-righteous whataboutim?

      A bad person can create a good product. It’s that simple.

      It’s really not, though. Using their “good product“ ends up supporting the bad person. Most people aren’t OK with that.
