      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.

        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.
