For anyone curious, Eich didn’t fund a political campaign but rather a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. It was struck down as unconstitutional.

Additionally, Eich was not fired but resigned even though the Mozilla board asked him to stay.

Judging from the parent’s multiple posts in this thread it appears he is adjusting facts to fit his narrative.

It is a lie that "everyone at Mozilla was against him".

I worked at Mozilla at the time (distinguished engineer). I don't know about the board, but the vast, vast majority of staff wanted Brendan to stay. A handful of Mozilla Foundation staff spoke out against him and got lots of publicity.

Not really the truth though. They wanted him to stay, but in a different role. I regard that as being fired as CEO and I do not understand how you could interpret that in any other way. Several employees started a campaign demanding his resignation. Other companies like OkCupid stated recommended Firefox users to switch to Chrome and there were others as well.

Sure, he wasn't really fired by the letter but rather he was smeared and a lot of people organized a hate campaign towards him. Who would want to stay in such a toxic environment?

Incredible that the same people that claim to value diversity and inclusion just loves to exclude and give people incredible amounts of hate when they do not conform to the exact same beliefs.

No one in the board backed their CEO or defended him. I am not adjusting the facts. I do believe in same-sex marriage. You can marry whomever you want beacause I do not care, but to give someone the treatment he got for not believing the same thing is just horrible and unjust.

One of your points is that Mozilla is using Google Analytics on privacy pages so you switched to a browser powered by Google?

Where will your donation go now if not to Mozilla?

Can't say I am particular fond of Google either. Brave uses chromium sources but they do not send any data to Google without washing it through their servers first with a default installation. So even if they actually use tech from Google, as a company they are a much better alternative and is much more in line with something I want to support.

Probably I will just save the money for now, but perhaps in the near future I will increase donations to some open source contributors via Open Collective (where I know it will fund the developers directly).

If you care about privacy then you have ETP turned on which means Google Analytics would be blocked for you.
