And here's another edit, "for clarification". He is now emphasizing that "Use of Brave's API is not an endorsement of Eich or Brave and is a technological decision to provide the best possible service to Kagi's users."
Well, Vlad, I'm sure you actually believe this. But even if it were the case (which it isn't, because you're normalizing Eich's views by treating him as a normal business partner):
Your use of Brave's API pays Brave money, which in turn is funding Eich and his politics.
