I've started using Firefox and can never go back to Chrome

I used to work with Brendan and despite being trans felt he sorta got the shaft from Mozilla. I know everyone was upset with him, but for a year and a half I worked with him and he was never anything but cordial to me... an out trans queer person.

So when he launched Brave I wanted to give it the benefit if the doubt. But the early messaging about what conditions ads are replaced was hamfisted and I stopped using it relatively quickly.

That being said... all the browsers (FF, Brave, Chrome, Safari, etc.) embody the agenda of their respective organizations. The question you may want to ask is "what organization has the most motivation to address issues I care about most?"

This is why I use Lynx.

I don't know Brendan, but I agree that from everything I've gathered he was treated very badly by Mozilla and then to make matters worse he was woke mobbed. Absolutely lost respect for Mozilla after that. The CEO issue, to a lesser degree, indicates to me that they don't really understand how to run a tech company properly.
