CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros (lemm.ee)

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.

Ungoogled Chromium does a really good job of taking Google out of Chrome, so far less skeezy. None of that cryptocurrency stuff either.

Thorium's OK too.

What cryptocurrency is integrated into Chrome?

Pretty sure the cryptocurrency comment is referring to Brave, not Chrome.

Oh.

Gross.

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

Are there any forks that aren't infested with rabid honeybadgers?

At least two.
