I tried Kagi (free 100 query plan) and got about the same results as google/DDG. It’s kind of nice but I couldn’t see subscribing. I hate subscriptions. If they sold access for a flat fee per query (let’s say $5 for 200 queries) I’d buy that, and use a dozen or so queries a month.

Too bad brave's CEO is a giant bigoted piece of shit who I refuse to support.

You know he isn’t retrieving the results personally?

Pieces of shit exist in most companies.

No way, really?!?!

I try to not reward companies that hire CEOs who actively support the extermination of gay people

Brendan Eich was a founder. He wasn’t hired. Not sure if anyone can remove him.

How would you feel if a conservative organization mounted a campaign to boycott an entire company because the CEO is gay?

The Brave browser itself exterminating gay people, nor stopping them marrying.

Do you drink Fanta? Should we also still boycott Volkswagen and Hugo Boss?

If you apply your boycotting consistently you need to avoid an awful lot of things

(Note, I’m not defending Brendan Eich or his appalling views)

Get the actual fuck out of here with your both sides bullshit. Boycotting a company for bigoted is not the same as boycotting a company because you yourself are a bigoted piece of shit.

No-one is claiming whatever it is you are trying to say.

I’m saying neither the company nor product have done anything bigoted.

Boycotting any and every company that employs bigots is impossible.

If you can't see why one would boycotting a company with a loud and proudly bigoted founder, i don't know what the fuck to tell you other that you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

I can’t see why we should boycott when the product isn’t bigoted and the company doesn’t do bigoted things.

Highlighting a particular employee or position is not logical.

If the CFO was bigoted would you boycott?

If the country manager was bigoted would you boycott?

…

If the intern was bigoted would you boycott?

Under your moral code ANY company employing at least one bigot should be boycotted. This leads to almost all companies being boycotted.

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth.

I'd also prefer companies have strict policies against that sort of thing, and if I found out a company was fostering a workplace where that awful view is acceptable, I would boycott them as well.

The founder generally receives the biggest piece of the pie. That's obviously a more significant thing. Frankly, I think you know this and are simply arguing in bad faith.

So poor bigots are fine. Got it.

Brave is FOSS. Nothing needs to go to Eich.

the general spirit of being against bigotry and opposing it,

Agreed. But neither the Brave company nor the software is bigoted.

violently if necessary, anywhere you see it.

I would not advocate for attacking free speech (political donations) with violence.

Im sorry that you're so tolerant of bigotry. I can't help you

I’m clearly against bigotry.

I don’t see how that position is related to using a particular web browser.
