Ok but like that asshole is using his money and power to donate to horrible stuff. Even if we take the stance that you shouldn't let someone's opinion ruin what they make, you're still helping him support his causes financially through using his platform.

Or wow, it's almost like people care about that sort of thing on the platform were most people came from Reddit or twitter because of the awful actions of their respective CEOs or something

Oh believe me I get it. But at the same time the CEO didn't rename brave browser "anti woke browser" and force it to not load "woke sites man".

Shits all open source right? Even if I disagree with him politically that's on him. I can use my money to donate to my political designation and even fork the brave browser if I don't want to support it.

Elon and Spez were one way no choice fuck you CEOs. We didn't get much choice there. And they use their platforms to remind you of that. I don't really feel like brave does that at all.

Edit: I'm also going to add that I don't use brave. I also don't care much about politics outside of leave me alone, leave my neighbor alone, and make things affordable.
