So #Kagi is now partnering with #Brave, i.e. the company of Brendan Eich, who has been CEO at Mozilla for eleven days before he had to leave due to massive criticism of his homophobic views. Brave's most well-known product is a browser with its own cryptocurrency, co-designed by Eich. A feedback post asking Kagi to reconsider has been closed by Kagi's founder Vladimir Prelovac because "Considering company x founder political views is not a factor in [their] evaluation". https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave

Quite a controversial decision… I love Kagi though, but I don’t understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.

    That’s a really easy conclusion to come to when you weren’t the one being targeted.

    And that’s a lot of words to say this isn’t your issue so you aren’t doing anything about it. Nobody needs the hand wringing. You can just say it.

      Care to expand? Not sure how anything I’ve said is hand wringing nor what you’re implying I should be doing.

        Your entire comment can be boiled down to “I don’t find this “tenable” and the issue isn’t important to me relative to other issues”.

        That’s fine. You can think that. Just go the brevity route next time. It respects the reader more than a wall of text.

          I mean, you’re focused on minimizing a concluding thought around an informative dialogue originated by me asking about the perspectives of those feeling impacted by this (of which I’m not). I didn’t find the responses to be a waste of time to read so not sure why you felt that detracting from the discourse was to be your contribution rather than sharing your own perspective to further the group’s discussion.

          It will be easier to sympathise with you if you explain how Brave has targeted you or impacted your life.
