@dmbaturin @ruhrscholz It's maybe worth knowing that he was only the CEO at Moz for a couple of months at most. He was the CTO for a long time, and as long as he was _just_ the CTO, most everyone working there was quietly annoyed about his politics but willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as far as keeping that out of technical decisions. (This was like 2008-2010, I doubt it would be the same today.) As CEO, he did not get that courtesy. |
@ruhrscholz To be fair, now in the time of Google browser monopoly, that warning seems almost "wrong for right reasons" — a compelling argument against Eich as the CEO of Mozilla, not an argument against Firefox.
It's certainly an argument against Brave now. Terrible overall, Blink-based, _and_ the CEO is anti-equality.
