In 2008 when Proposition 8 was on the ballot, that Eich privately supported, even President Obama (candidate at the time) was publicly against gay marriage.

There needs to be some historical cultural context, supporting Prop 8 in 2008 is different than supporting Prop 8 in 2023. Now if Eich said he would support it in 2023, that's a different matter.

But I would still use Brave browser and search since it's a good product.

I don't think there need to be any historical cultural context. It was just as wrong and bigoted then as now. It's not an excuse that most people agreed with him at the time.

If I accepted that agreeing with the majority makes everything okay, I couldn't criticize the many horridly immoral things the majority still agree with today.

I still use Brave sometimes, and I would probably still use it if he did the same thing today, but I will continue to think he is a bad person unless he at least donates the same amount (adjusted for inflation) to a charity that supports LGBTQ+ people.
