He donated to groups that opposed Prop 8. The whole reason why Brave Browser exists to begin with is because he was kicked out of Mozilla. The entire browser is built on bigotry.

Don’t make me do your work for you, this is widely available information. There’s this thing, called a “search engine”, that allows you to search the web for entertainment, news, and information. Give it a try sometime. Here’s a link: duckduckgo.com

All you gave me was a link to the front page of duckduckgo And by the way, duckduckgo broke their promise not to tailor results several years ago and still tailors results now

Here’s what proton Lumo could find about the allegation you just brought up with no evidence

Brendan Eich—co‑founder of Brave—has publicly disclosed one political contribution that often comes up in discussions about him: in 2008 he gave US $1,000 to California’s Proposition 8, the ballot measure that sought to ban same‑sex marriage in the state. That donation was made years before Brave existed (the browser launched in 2016) and was aimed at a social‑policy cause, not at supporting the browser or its development.

There’s no record of Eich (or Brave Software) making a monetary donation to a third‑party organization specifically to promote or fund Brave. Instead, Brave’s growth has been financed primarily through:

Venture funding and private investment – early rounds led by investors such as Founders Fund, Pantera Capital, and others. Revenue from the Brave Rewards program – a portion of the Basic Attention Token (BAT) ecosystem that shares ad revenue with users and publishers. Partnerships and affiliate programs – e.g., collaborations with nonprofits like Japan’s “Code for Everyone” (Minna no Code) where users can direct BAT earnings to the cause, but these are partnerships, not donations from Eich himself. So, while Eich did donate $1,000 to Prop 8, that contribution was unrelated to Brave and did not serve to support the browser’s development or promotion. The browser’s financing comes from venture capital, its own ad‑revenue model, and strategic partnerships rather than personal charitable donations from its creator.

So he donated to a group that also supported prop 8. To be perfectly clear, I don’t think any marriage sanctions by the government needs to be a thing. If you want to be committed to someone or even more than one person, as long as you’re all consenting adults and you’re all keeping the sexual things you do with each other private and out of sight of anyone who doesn’t want to see it, you do you

  You’re insane if you think I’m reading that wall of text. Did you remember to take your medication today?
  
  Use the browser if you want, or don’t. You don’t have to justify yourself to me; I couldn’t care any less.
  
  Best wishes to you, friend. ✌️
