> By using Firefox you support Mozilla, so you support the CEO financing political campaigns you don’t agree with.

I use Firefox because it's a functional browser with the best uBlock Origin support. Whatever political campaigns the guy in charge contributes to is not a factor, it's not even something I think about at all. I shouldn't even have to know who's in charge, if that information ever comes up it's probably a sign something's wrong.

> It’s simple, the guy had to go.

Mozilla is clearly worse off for it. Looks like the guy went and made another browser and now it's eating at Firefox's market share. Kind of ironic.

I understand that you don't care and it's fine. Some people do care.
I do care -- about the impact this guy leaving had on Firefox. Given the state of Brave today, one's gotta wonder what Firefox would've been like today had he not left.
