Brave Software has announced plans to deprecate the 'Strict' fingerprinting protection mode in its privacy-focused Brave Browser because it causes many sites to function incorrectly.
He wasn’t fired. He voluntarily left. And thus Mozilla is left with an incompetent CEO whose only aim is to increase her paycheck year after year, despite pathetic market share results for FF. Enjoy that.
That said, nobody cares about your “friendly remainders”. We’re talking about software here, not politics.
And, to stay on topic, yes, it happened to me that Strict FP broke some website, in particular those displaying a frame with a map or similar stuff. So I’ve resorted to use “standard” FP myself.
I mean, you can grandstand all you want while you have no platforms to safely do it on. Pretty sure having working products for privacy is more important to activism than one guy being an asshole.
I’m…honestly surprised you can be on lemmy when you damn products over singular people. Just cause I know there’s people who have tried to dissuade others from lemmy over the developers. And in that case the people involved are even closer to the code than a CEO would be.
If someone gets fired for being a piece of shit and then hired somewhere else it’s pretty fair to assume that company isn’t great. As they presumably knew that when they hired him and didn’t care.
It’s also the person running the company not some random employee.
I’m not a shill for Brave. It has its fair share of technical issues but it’s the less worse browser for my use case (better than FF, anyway). Your (or mine) opinion on the CEO has nothing to do with the technical issue discussed in OP’s link.
And no, what MAGA are you talking about? I’m not even 'murican. Take your meds, dude.
Technology and ethics and politics are not airgapped magically distinct things. Pretending that they are is a strategic political choice you are actively making.
Yawn… I’m tired of this shit. You people are really ridiculous. I’m going to just block you. Enjoy your cognitive dissonance and your virtue signaling.
The irony is those two gays cried everybody should switch from Firefox, now gays cry switch from Brave, why are they so hatefull is beyond my understanding.
What is beyond my understanding is why every fucking time someone posts some relevant TECHNICAL info or question about that browser there’s always someone else, which appears to be less smart than an amoeba, that feels the need to write the same exaggerate and OT bullshit about the CEO.

Nah. I care. You dont speak for me. I cant tell if you’re a shill for Brave or a MAGAt or both.
Wow. The internet must be really rough for you if people don’t wear labels so you know who to hate before learning a damn thing about them!
Yeah, it’s terrible when an entire group of people are discriminated against for a label.

frankly, I dont trust an aggressive homophobe with my privacy
Yeah that’s rarely the only trait someone has that I find objectionable. Homophobia tends to come in a cluster with other shithead opinions

Okay
But in this entire discussion we haven’t even tied him or his homophobia to the feature change this article is discussing.
Because that’s not what this particular thread is discussing.
Yes it is, you just can’t keep up
Lemmy is one of the least “owned by a single person” projects online.
That’s the entire reason most of us are on Lemmy. Fuck spez.
I mean yeah, but Spez we know for a fact actually did something.
🤔 look, I’m not defending bigotry….
But an aggressive homophobe seems like the type to be highly motivated to care deeply about working privacy tools these days
So who exactly do you trust?
So when brave pay you do they direct deposit or do you get a paper cheque?

😂😂😂 yes, because I made a joke I’m being paid by brave. You got me!
Question is, who’s paying you to get so butthurt over it?
Firefix just venmo’d me 50¢ to tell you to fuck off lol
Well at least you can admit it. That’s the first step
Bigots are privacy experts. The proof is in the radioactive pudding.
Don’t feed the troll
Yeah, so committed to privacy that he built it on chromium

It’s 2024 you should know this is a terrible thing to say to people.

Ok. I’m a bad person because I enjoy using a given browser. I get that.
Another one that goes on my ignore list. Bye.
Do you hate the Brave CEO for doing the same thing as the Mozilla CEO, but with even less restraint?
Or are you just whining in hopes that nobody will question whether you’re being a hypocrite
Yawn… I’m tired of this shit. You people are really ridiculous. I’m going to just block you. Enjoy your cognitive dissonance and your virtue signaling.
What an ironic thing to post
Well, you’re wrong.
The irony is those two gays cried everybody should switch from Firefox, now gays cry switch from Brave, why are they so hatefull is beyond my understanding.

Bots go brrrr
