The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board…

Of course I can’t comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can’t figure out.

    I see how they didn’t answer the question. However, maybe they’re not answering your question but commenting on “Brave is a great product”.

      That doesn’t make it a bad product. I’ve never interacted with any of the crypto or donation stuff. You go into settings, click “no thanks” and are never bothered by any of that ever again. So no, these stories people repeat ad nauseam don’t take away anything from the product. Why don’t other people demand better from the alternatives? If there is one better than Brave at fighting popups and stuff, I’m all for it

          Haha, that’s quite alright. I knew I wasn’t going to win a popularity contest here, I just enjoy Brave for what it does and I wish uBlock Origin was just as good
