Of course they just had to make it somewhat contreversial by adopting braves adblock engine; brave's ceo or whatever funds anti gay lobbyists.

This doesn't bother me. The gays have won equal rights. Their push for acceptance and parity with straight people has been wildly successful. It's like if I found out the CEO of a company I love financially supported anti-pet lobbying groups...good luck taking away people's cats and dogs.

The only rights gay people might have not won involves adoption, but I feel like thats anti-man more than anything else. Society doesn't feel comfortable giving a person a child unless there is a woman involved.

Bruh everything is funded by some sort of criminal. Jeffery Epstein could have donated to the Mozilla foundation for all we know. You literally cannot tell.

That's a very convenient position that absolves you from any responsibility to do anything. Convenient, but I don't think correct.

As u/TBi said in the comments

People won’t pay for anything, and are then surprised by who actually pays for stuff.

Brave is also backed by Peter Thiel.

These developers need to eat too.

Just wait till you find out who funds Firefox.

Could it be... Satan?
