  • Fwiw the guy who made Brave is the same guy who who wrote JavaScript. He created Firefox too iirc, but was booted by Mozilla for being loudly and publicly homophobic.

    I haven’t heard anything about him being a pedophile, however.

    (It’s probably worth mentioning: he wrote JavaScript over the course of 10 days in 1995, iirc. Over literally the next 28 years, JS has been developed and maintained by everyone but Eich - so if you’re weirded out by the fact that Eich wrote JS, he really did very little of it. If all we had was his version of it, it would be nowhere near as prevalent as it is today. JavaScript is still garbage, but at least it’s our garbage.)
