Brave Software has announced plans to deprecate the 'Strict' fingerprinting protection mode in its privacy-focused Brave Browser because it causes many sites to function incorrectly.

I mean, you can grandstand all you want while you have no platforms to safely do it on. Pretty sure having working products for privacy is more important to activism than one guy being an asshole.

🤔 look, I’m not defending bigotry….

But an aggressive homophobe seems like the type to be highly motivated to care deeply about working privacy tools these days

So who exactly do you trust?

Bigots are privacy experts. The proof is in the radioactive pudding.

So when brave pay you do they direct deposit or do you get a paper cheque?

😂😂😂 yes, because I made a joke I’m being paid by brave. You got me!

I’m…honestly surprised you can be on lemmy when you damn products over singular people. Just cause I know there’s people who have tried to dissuade others from lemmy over the developers. And in that case the people involved are even closer to the code than a CEO would be.

Lemmy is one of the least “owned by a single person” projects online.

If someone gets fired for being a piece of shit and then hired somewhere else it’s pretty fair to assume that company isn’t great. As they presumably knew that when they hired him and didn’t care.

It’s also the person running the company not some random employee.

Okay

But in this entire discussion we haven’t even tied him or his homophobia to the feature change this article is discussing.

Because that’s not what this particular thread is discussing.

Yes it is, you just can’t keep up

Yeah that’s rarely the only trait someone has that I find objectionable. Homophobia tends to come in a cluster with other shithead opinions
