    The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

    Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

      If that dude got proper support, he could have done wonders; he made animated icons for his 16-color assembly-coded OS, and a simple 3d racer! All by himself!

        Jesus, this fucking paranoid bitch can barely string a sentence together. He must be neck deep in the techbro CEO k-hole...

        Also, as an Irish leftist, he should leave my people out of his delusional and incoherent ranting.

            lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply

            Is this racist against the Irish? I mean that is traditional, but sounds so strange.

              This kind of statement have way less impact when people already have 0 goodwill toward the one that says it.

                I imagine the implication is that no cryptocurrency stuff is inserted in the spot that google once occupied.

                  I've been trying to move away from Google Chrome for awhile now. Brave was the easiest move for me - it's super slick and almost exactly like Google Chorme. But they just cannot help themselves from pushing Cryto BS on the startup page like every day - it's weird. I get they offset advertisements with Crypto, and maybe before The President ran a Crypto rugpull I'd be onboard, but now that the Rich Elites have publicly shown their hand in how they want to use Crypto I just can't support Brave.

                  Anyway, I've moved to Opera for the time being. If anyone else has suggestions I'm open to hear em, but like, I'm too used to webkit devtools.

                      its from terry davis, the schizophrenic talented developer who wrote his own OS (TempleOS) from scratch as one of gods temples or something, however he was pretty racist and delusional, so would see "glowies" of CIA agents or whatever trying to get him, and now the term is used for people suspecting others of being federal agents

                          Turn it all off and it's no more in your face. The browser itself functions great when configured according to your needs.

                          Fuck their CEO though. Focus on the product. It works and consistently ranks as one of the highest orivacy based browser according to the EFF and multiple non profit sources.

                                Pretty sure this is referring to Brave, not Chrome.

                                        The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

                                        Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

                                        Right wing asshole shows to the world again that they never improved and are even more of a right wing asshole.

                                        This is why I never used Brave anything longer than a brief look. Fuck this dude, I'm glad Mozilla removed him.
