Brave Software has announced plans to deprecate the 'Strict' fingerprinting protection mode in its privacy-focused Brave Browser because it causes many sites to function incorrectly.
He wasn’t fired. He voluntarily left. And thus Mozilla is left with an incompetent CEO whose only aim is to increase her paycheck year after year, despite pathetic market share results for FF. Enjoy that.
That said, nobody cares about your “friendly remainders”. We’re talking about software here, not politics.
And, to stay on topic, yes, it happened to me that Strict FP broke some website, in particular those displaying a frame with a map or similar stuff. So I’ve resorted to use “standard” FP myself.
I mean, you can grandstand all you want while you have no platforms to safely do it on. Pretty sure having working products for privacy is more important to activism than one guy being an asshole.
I’m…honestly surprised you can be on lemmy when you damn products over singular people. Just cause I know there’s people who have tried to dissuade others from lemmy over the developers. And in that case the people involved are even closer to the code than a CEO would be.
If someone gets fired for being a piece of shit and then hired somewhere else it’s pretty fair to assume that company isn’t great. As they presumably knew that when they hired him and didn’t care.
It’s also the person running the company not some random employee.

Nah. I care. You dont speak for me. I cant tell if you’re a shill for Brave or a MAGAt or both.

frankly, I dont trust an aggressive homophobe with my privacy
Yeah that’s rarely the only trait someone has that I find objectionable. Homophobia tends to come in a cluster with other shithead opinions

Lemmy is one of the least “owned by a single person” projects online.

Okay
But in this entire discussion we haven’t even tied him or his homophobia to the feature change this article is discussing.
Because that’s not what this particular thread is discussing.
Yes it is, you just can’t keep up
🤔 look, I’m not defending bigotry….
But an aggressive homophobe seems like the type to be highly motivated to care deeply about working privacy tools these days
So who exactly do you trust?
Bigots are privacy experts. The proof is in the radioactive pudding.
So when brave pay you do they direct deposit or do you get a paper cheque?
😂😂😂 yes, because I made a joke I’m being paid by brave. You got me!
Question is, who’s paying you to get so butthurt over it?
Firefix just venmo’d me 50¢ to tell you to fuck off lol
Well at least you can admit it. That’s the first step
Wow. The internet must be really rough for you if people don’t wear labels so you know who to hate before learning a damn thing about them!
Yeah, it’s terrible when an entire group of people are discriminated against for a label.
