They absolutely did not take responsibility properly. They dragged their feet, they argued and argued that they were doing nothing wrong, and them finally reluctantly changed things when they could find no other way to weasel out of it.

This is not only a lie, it's a particularly egregious one. And very easy to verify.
Original tweet (2:36 AM Pacific, June 6 2020) https://twitter.com/cryptonator1337/status/12692014801055784...
Response from Brave (10:00 AM Pacific, same day) https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1269313200127795201
It took them all of one whole business hour to respond. One hour. That's absolutely unheard of.
The above just goes to show how eager some people are to spread FUD in a blatantly dishonest and malicious way about certain things they oppose. It blows my mind.
