How I love seeing people talk the big talk about 'democracy' and 'freedom' but also do their best to remind everyone that "your'e free as long as you agree with them", else they attack with pitchforks and torches. Lovely. (Yes I'm talking to you).
What if I told you that brave browser was woke?
Would you instinctually repeat your favorite phrase; go woke go broke?
The fact that you think I would favor a silly phrase like that is laughable. I still wouldn't use brave because of the crypto crap, I couldn't care less about who is woke and who is asleep since I have no problem with the lgbt community and in fact I have friends irl who belong to it. No It is the blatant fascism that I have a problem with. You can choose to use whatever software you want and again I couldn't care less, but hating someone and sanctioning them and their product because they allegedly donated to something against what you like or think is right, is stupid. If you have the right to choose a certain thing, others must also have the choice to choose the opposite. That is freedom. Expecting ( forcing ) everyone to conform to your world views and standards is literally fascism.
I need you take a step back and realize that you think people not sanctioning a product because they don't like the moral code of the owners is "stupid".
You won't sanction their product over their decision to bind crypto to the browser.
I won't sanction their product because I find their morals to be lacking.
Neither of us are wrong, but one of use is inflammatory.
