In this comment I explain most of my issues with Brave.
You realise the guy created JavaScript eh? Are you refusing to use that too? Seems a bit hypocritical to be candid. ๐
You'll find that it's one of the most hated programming languages around here. People say (with good reason) that its implementation is terrible compared to other programming languages, and its over-adoption (being used when it's unnecessary) is commonly accused of being a major factor of the badly performing and resource hungry websites of the modern internet. It also enables the vast majority of invasive tracking tactics.
As another user also mentioned, it's a logical fallacy to directly compare a product that has clear alternatives, like brave, and a product that everyone is practically forced to use, like JavaScript, when talking about disliking the creator of those things.
Finally, as far as I know, Brendan Eich is no longer involved with the development of the JavaScript language standards, but he's currently the CEO of Brave.
Your final point is a fair point to this argument.
