Stop Using Brave Browser

Values are an integral part of tech design. I think that a lot of people don't use Chrome because of Google's tracking and profiling ecosystem, even though they feel it is a good browser. I prefer to use an open-source product, even if it may not be the best, just because I support open source as an idea. That is not weak.

He's a public persona and was initially picked for a high-visibility position at Mozilla. While he's free to donate to whoever (or more generally, do) as he sees fit, the org is equally free to not want to be associated with that.

In the case of positions that aren't in the public eye, there's more of an argument to be made (although even there, there are lines where you can argue that a contributor doesn't align with the values of the organization depending on what the disagreements are), but if he's meant to represent the group, the expectation of privacy is different.

Fortunately people have gotten more immune to that kind of tactic nowadays.
