Well it should be a reason IMHO.
You can find dirt on pretty much any corporation that exists.
I don’t use brave but if I boycotted every app and every company that has done bad things I wouldn’t have much of anything to browse through.
I know how compromises work, but the fact is we cannot let it be every time just because "they all have issues". Taking decisions based on beliefs is not an error, and I am in strong favor of this.
Learn to see some gray - your statements lack about nuanced understanding of these situations.
There isn’t a product in the world, even my most used and beloved, that makes me care enough to bother looking up beliefs of involved executives.
You do you.
Exactly. People here need to realize that the majority of non-Western people have had enough of struggles to deal with. They're also struggling to make ends meet, let alone caring about a product executive's political views. If the product can deliver what it's supposed to do – in this case, a browser that blocks ads – they're fine with it. And the Brave browser works well on midrange Androids, which are often used in many third-world countries. Firefox and its add-ons are quite resource-intensive for midrange devices.
