CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros

As a reminder, Eich was turfed from Mozilla for joining an anti-LGBT hate campaign (and thus alienating a whole lot of developers, sponsors, and users); and his So Brave browser pushed NFTs and stole money via referral fraud.

can't believe the homophobic crypto nut would also be a right wing loon

Brave has always seemed shady to me. I mean it has built in crypto spam.

Not shocked the fake coin browser has a right-wing CEO.

Oh that queer hating fuck is still around?

I didn't know that word.

Noun

glowie (plural glowies)

1. (Internet slang, derogatory, far-right) A government agent or informant infiltrating an online political space, with the supposed intention of surveilling violent extremists or provoking entrapment.

Not his first time having a public melty over woke themes. What is it about tech CEOs and advanced brain rot? Are they getting too high on their own products?

Right wing asshole shows to the world again that they never improved and are even more of a right wing asshole.

This is why I never used Brave anything longer than a brief look. Fuck this dude, I'm glad Mozilla removed him.

sudo apt remove brave-browser

k who's next?

Someone's been munching Elon's Special K for breakfast. New marketing tagline just dropped tho:

Brave browser, because you'd have to be brave to use a browser built by a Nazi

Jesus, this fucking paranoid bitch can barely string a sentence together. He must be neck deep in the techbro CEO k-hole...

Also, as an Irish leftist, he should leave my people out of his delusional and incoherent ranting.

For a non-native speaker of english this reads like a core dump. I have zero idea what this dude is even talking about.

This spineless mouth breather just realised there's a buck to be made by glazing other alt-right mouth breathers. At least he can finally be himself now. Thankfully, his product is just google chrome repackaged and thereby sucks major ass.

Between this, Proton and Firefox's change of terms, most of the advice I've seen on tech that protects your privacy seems like it's going the way of the dino.

Oh right - that's why I keep not installing Brave. I knew it was something and then I forget.

Good thing I quit brave a few years ago when they did that Crypto shit.

Old guy, here...

WTF is a "glowie"?

We knew Eich was an asshole when he tried to support that amendment in California ages ago

Sounds like pretty standard far right brainrot.

lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply

Is this racist against the Irish? I mean that is traditional, but sounds so strange.

The fact that he invented Javascript alone makes him a villain. Everything he did after that is just complementary.

Wow, ketamine is a hell of a drug.

brave is just chromium, i wonder when google wants to cut them off down the line.

This kind of statement have way less impact when people already have 0 goodwill toward the one that says it.

Brave browser is a litmus test.

fyi; badblock has an anti-brave list.

For those looking for alternatives, there are a number Firefox forks such as Mullvad and Librewolf and then there's Chromium and it's various forks (just avoid Edge and, now, sadly, Brave)

Another company going on the list of run by scum.

Oh, it's almost as if brave has always sucked.

What's a glowy? Like, a glowstick?

Brave evangelists in shambles.

Is this dude schizophrenic or something? What the fuck does he mean "Irish only apply"?

"Glowies"? As in "glow in the dark CIA n-words"? Bro turned into Tarry Davis.

so brave.

Vivaldi to replace brave if Firefox is not enough

I've been trying to move away from Google Chrome for awhile now. Brave was the easiest move for me - it's super slick and almost exactly like Google Chorme. But they just cannot help themselves from pushing Cryto BS on the startup page like every day - it's weird. I get they offset advertisements with Crypto, and maybe before The President ran a Crypto rugpull I'd be onboard, but now that the Rich Elites have publicly shown their hand in how they want to use Crypto I just can't support Brave.

Anyway, I've moved to Opera for the time being. If anyone else has suggestions I'm open to hear em, but like, I'm too used to webkit devtools.

What a clown, nothing new sadly

Is there a good mobile browser that...

• Supports adblock?
• Doesn't have as many rendering issues as Firefox on mobile sites?

I know the latter isn't Firefox's fault, but it still impacts the end user.

At this point you are allowed to put "George Soros" in scare quotes too. It is a good time to be alive. /S

What’s a glowie? 🤔

I'm confused what is this about?

I understood what he said. Strip out some rude terms and it sounds accurate. The comments here sound like someone shouted “squirrel” to a pack of rabid dogs.

I also lack common sense and am posting this comment. In my feeble defense I really don’t know the guy, and suspect he likes baiting others

I WANT TO GET OFF MR. BONES' WILD RIDE!

Regardless of the CEO, Brave is a great product. The crypto stuff is easy to turn off. Fantastic ad blocking, rarely any problems. What is the best alternative with great ad blocking?

Does anyone know of a decent browser that syncs between Android and Windows versions that isn't Firefox based? Mobile Firefox's UX is not my cup of tea

Anyone know of any iOS browsers that have downloads similar to Brave’s playlist function?
