    Kind reminder to use FireFox for a more open and fair web. Google’s blink rendering engine has the majority of the browser market. Not-so-fun fact: Brendan Eich started the Brave browser after being kicked from Mozilla because he donated $1000 to California Proposition 8 which called for the banning of same sex marriage.

      Its just a huge shame too because Brendan Eich is such a smart guy (creating JavaScript, co-founding Mozilla and Firefox, etc), so sad to see how distorted and awful his views on basic human rights and the world are.

    I wouldn’t even be surprised if this was deliberate, with how little they care to hide all the bs they pull nowadays
