Chromium having a monopoly on the market is only a bad thing.<br><br>God I hope Firefox bounces back. I don't like Mozilla much but they seem like the only browser company truly committed to privacy... I guess there's Brave, but Eich 🤢,(reply>), @madd_step of course I can never be 100% perfect in ensuring my money doesn't go to "bad" people or causes I disagree with; but that doesn't mean I should be happy with 0% either. I refuse to buy anything related to Nestle for example. And I'm trying to replace Google stuff with more privacy-oriented companies like protonmail, etc.<br><br>I know he created JS, but you're talking now about people's engineering/software contributions rather than products they make or companies they work for. Obviously if those technologies are ubiquitous it's hard not to use them, but that doesn't mean I should just not care any more about supporting their new businesses or products either, does it? I'm not naive enough to think that only "virtuous" people can contribute to our collective technological advancement, but just ignoring it altogether isn't the answer either.<br><br>TLDR: Yes I know he created JS, but I'm saying I don't see how that means I should not care about his donations and/or supporting Brave.,(reply>), @Xenoprimate there are a lot of terrible people who make money off of what you do and use it for evil shit. Pretty much every tech company has these asshats. But he used his money to do his own personal thing he did not affiliate Mozilla with it even tho it would have totally been in his right to do so.<br><br>It's up to you but he also created JavaScript... so if you want to protest him and his claim to fame stop using JS as well. The more people that use JS the more people support Eich. <br><br>I think a lot of great engineers were terrible people but that doesn't change the value of the contributions. People still bring up Hans Reisers work in the LKML to this very day. Bad guy but good software...,(reply>), @madd_step yes, he supported a an anti-gay cause with his own money. He has a right to do that, and I have my right to not want to support any product whose success might indirectly give him more money to do that again.,(reply>), daily reminder that Eich created JavaScript.<br><br>What did he even do wrong? support a personal cause with his own personal money?<br>I'm no fan of brave because it's another Chromium browser but Eich is far from the problem with it.,(reply>), It's not the same a say Google having monopoly. Chromium is open source and accepts contributors from all around the globe. Only a fraction are with Google.
