He also created JavaScript, but I don’t see people getting upset and telling others to not use JavaScript.

Well, JavaScript has a lot of horrible features, but it’s ubiquitous and we’re stuck with it for the time being. Certainly it’s another thing to blame Eich for, rather than something that mitigates his other shitty behavior.

Neither does Brave unless you specifically opt in to those services. It’s open source, you can check for yourself.
