The fact that Eich was pilloried after the fact for what was at the time a mainstream political opinion is absurd.
Brave is fantastic on android though.

It was ten years ago. When people fussed about it it was six years old.
How many years back do political actions count as relevant?
The other toxic drama was about a 1000$ political donation. Very sad to see an unpopular view used to paint someone as a monster. If democratic political views are enough to kill someones career, it is more a sign of the toxicity of today's social media and activism than a character judgment.

No, not really. Not a good political idea to align yourself with the black sheep. With all the tars and feathers he just looks weird.
Though it also works in his favor: Brave is popular amongst the alt-right and technical-minded early adopters. They see it more as character assassination and SJW corporate culture taking desperate vengeance for Trump's win.
