So #Kagi is now partnering with #Brave, i.e. the company of Brendan Eich, who has been CEO at Mozilla for eleven days before he had to leave due to massive criticism of his homophobic views. Brave's most well-known product is a browser with its own cryptocurrency, co-designed by Eich.
A feedback post asking Kagi to reconsider has been closed by Kagi's founder Vladimir Prelovac because "Considering company x founder political views is not a factor in [their] evaluation".

Quite a controversial decision… I love Kagi though, but I don’t understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.
Firstly, fuck off with this misrepresentation. I can’t be bothered with tedious whataboutism pushed purely to simp for a homophobic millionaire who actively wants people like me to be second class citizens.
He spent money to actively oppose LGBT people having equal rights. That’s very different to merely not publicly supporting it in order to avoid backlash from the very people he had to win over to be elected.
One of those is spineless or, charitably, savvy politicking. The other is outright hateful.
And for the record, I’m not American. I couldn’t give a shit about Obama. So if this is some kind of “um ackshully you supported Obama, owned much??” doesn’t apply to me. Not that it was even a good argument anyway.
He hasn’t come out and said that he was wrong or tried to make up for it in any way. He has in fact doubled down on his stance.
Easy to find. Why don’t you look for it on your precious Brave search engine?
Why are you so ardently defending a hateful piece of shit? One who also donated money to a politician who said that AIDS is a punishment from god and that it’s right for gay people to be exterminated through disease?
Does it get your little dick hard when minority groups have fewer rights than you or something?
He didn’t support gay marriage in 2008. Neither did Obama, but he gets a free pass. Is Obama massively homophobic?

Didn’t know he doubled down on it. When did he do that?
2014
He didn’t comment on it in 2014
Yes he did. Stop defending homophobia.
Prove it, from what I’ve seen he didn’t double down on it, but neither did he apologize for it.

I did look for it and I didn’t find him doubling down. You’re the one making the claim, why don’t you link me? Or maybe you’re just bullshitting me
When did he double down?

Has he made a statement to the contrary?
No, but he did do an interview years later where he doubled down, and complained that people weren’t being inclusive of those with homophobic views.
Basically the “so much for the tolerant left! They’re not even tolerant of my intolerance!” argument lol
Neither did the CEO of Grindr, later than that, lol
