He's probably done some horrible thing

Edit: yep https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/mozilla-ceo-eich-resigns-after-controversy/

Brendan Eich steps down following calls for his ouster over his support for California's anti-gay marriage Proposition 8.

Wow, on the nose. Literally, yes.

Yes, he stepped down as CEO of Mozilla and is now CEO of Brave. I’m not sure if you’re joking or genuinely didn’t notice that they’re the same person.

Yeah but Mozilla isn't tainted by it? Come on, that's ridiculous. He's not building some anti-gay code into the software, the homepage of Brave (or Firefox) isn't "lol fuck the woke".

Dig into any company, or any CEO, you'll find something to get angry about. People are people. Products are products. Open source products especially so.
