That and they have been doing some selfserving things with BAT to the point where I wouldn't trust them even if BAT became something worthwhile or maybe even especially then.

Brave is managed by Brendan Eich who had to leave Mozilla because he is a homophobe.

Eich was a cofounder of Mozilla. Wasn't him an homophobe back then? Did someone stopped using FF because Mozilla's cofounder was an homophobe?

And, frankly speaking, I couldn't care less about him or his believing. I need a good browser. Brave is a good browser (better than Firefox, for me). The day I find something better, I'll migrate. Full stop.

Again, the whole BAT thing is opt-in and it's not the point here.

When it became public yeah people protested some websites were even putting up warnings for Firefox users.

Yeah, but people are still using a browser originally made by an homophobic guy. Shame on them! /s
