That has been debunked.

But you're free to keep believing in FUD.
By the way... I guess you're fine with Mozilla being in bed with... Google itself?
I never thought I'd meet a homophobe defender brave enough to venture outside their own little pocket fascist instance of lemmy.
Here are some facts:
That link does not 'debunk' the fact that Brave was funded, in part, by Peter Thiel. It just downplays it.
Brave's funding was a crypto scam, and selling the idea of 'selling out to advertisers' to investors.
They are so incredibly 'committed to privacy' that they keep selling user data and illegally redirecting users.
No, to answer your whataboutism, I'm not fine with the Mozilla board having Google members among others on it. I really hate that they are spending most of their money on not web browser development, and have spent most of their money in the last two years that was ear marked for browser development on AI features the majority of users turn off. But that's still better than supporting Brenden Eich.
You lose all credibility outside of your weird little circles when you use the word "FUD".
I couldn't care less if truth doesn't fit your narrative.
I made no vale judgement on the information you provided, just informing you of the optics.
