I must admit, I was on the wrong side of Mozilla’s controversy around Brendan Eich. It was only later that I came to realize: the people who were upset, they actually knew what this was about, and I did not.
So whenever one of you recommends the #Brave browser, it makes me cringe. This article by @corbin sums it all up nicely, please read.

I'm not sure that convinces me. Core of the criticism remains this single rather small donation.
To focus on the technical side:
1. Mozilla management after @BrendanEich was a disaster named #MitchellBaker.
2. #BraveBrowser is only a frontend for #Chromium, unlike #Firefox, the last remaining libre browser. - It could easily be solved by changing the engine.
3. BAT is the crude solution to a problem no one solved, most even ignore.
