@shaderphantom isn't that asshole Eich in charge of Brave? Or am I thinking of something else
@SwooshyCueb that he is
@shaderphantom And also, Brendan Eich, the former Mozilla CEO behind it, is a homophobic fash prick who pushed to add an alt-right wiki as a default search option.
@Jo Jesus christ.
This is new to me. Fuck Brave and fuck Brendan Eich even before that, but this really seals it huh.
It makes it abundantly clear that the public feedback they asked for on the change was nothing more than lip service to the extension developer community. I am ashamed to admit I fell for it, because the changes could have been rationalized at the time.

Move to Firefox now. There is no better option, now that every other browser is Webkit or Blink based, or directly forked from Chromium.
