Just been called a fascist for saying I don't want to use the "Brave" browser because it's run by a homophobe.

@thomasfuchs I am not familiar with the Brave folks… I shall have to research. Thanks for the heads up.
@blindcoder It’s founded and run by JavaScript inventor and former Mozilla CEO Brenden Eich who is a Mormon and used Im his influence and money to ban gay marriage in California https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/03/mozilla-ceo-brendan-eich-resigns-prop-8
@thomasfuchs Do you have a source on that? Need to throw it in the faces of a few people.
@BlackAzizAnansi This is the guy who runs Brave https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/03/mozilla-ceo-brendan-eich-resigns-prop-8
@thomasfuchs what?!?! NO!!!
@thomasfuchs Sounds like another word people are desperate to overuse and thus dilute/change the meaning of. A tactic of a certain demographic.
@thomasfuchs Just deleted the browser, I swear we can't have anything nice without assholes ruining it
@BlackAzizAnansi Yeah 😒
@thomasfuchs oh shit dead ass? Brb guess I'm a Firefox guy now.
@Ricciotto Personally I use Safari and where that's not available Firefox.
@thomasfuchs argh! I'm using Brave. Now i need a new browser for my phone. Any ideas?
@steveorama I mean, basically any other browser? I use Safari w/ 1Blocker and Firefox w/ uBlock fwiw.
@thomasfuchs I have been called fascist for using it! Yeah, I know, I need to switch off. Alternate suggestions welcome.
