Meet this man, his name is Brendan Eich. He is responsible for creating Mozilla Firefox which back in the day was the ubiquitous browser similar to chrome now.>Eich was appointed CEO back in 2014>(((NYT))) reported that he threw money at candidates and causes that fought against same-sex marriage>A subsequently campaign against him took place across the internet to force him to resign>11 days later he did, only after Mozilla began to hemorrhage users and the majority of the board at Mozilla quit because of a well-orchestrated campaign (((they))) are responsible for, ultimatelyFast forward a few yeas>Creates Brave browser & search>Doesn't filter, downrank, or censor your searches. If I search for a certain term & you the same term, we actually *shocker* get the same results instead of liberal Jew hogwash> Also hides your IP via tor>Most importantly, you are getting the results you want not some (((google))) bullshit which is designed by jews to aid the liberals, promote degenercy (interracial relationships, diversity, etc), and most importantly tell the whole world just how great niggers & shitskins are in your community (but not theirs, of course)> and a whole bunch of other positive things you can check on yourselfPretty much you have this admittedly rough on the eyes fat white guy who is ROMAN CATHOLIC, which I don't care a bit about except for the fact that he isn't another Techo-Jew corrupting from the base up. He created a dope browser and search engine where you can more or less trust the results unlike google, yahoo, bing, etc.
>>107116649Really looking forward to the next 4chan leak, need to see just how much they’re profiting off of these thread ads
>>107116649>responsible for JavaScript, Firefox and Brave, easily the top 3 worst things that ever happened to the webthis man should be arrested and then executed
>>107116649>In 2008, California voters narrowly passed Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment limiting legal marriage rights to heterosexual couples. Four years later, it came to light that Eich had been among Prop 8’s supporters, donating $1,000 to the anti-gay marriage campaign. The revelation sparked a righteous Twitter storm among technophiles, who tend to lean socially liberal regardless of their economic views. As far as I can tell, however, it did not lead to broad-based calls for Eich to resign from his post at Mozilla, where he had been Chief Technical Officer since 2005.https://slate.com/technology/2014/04/brendan-eich-why-mozilla-s-ceo-had-to-resign-over-gay-marriage-views.html

>>107116649Brave hit 101 million monthly user last month. So they're bigger than Firefox right now. LMAO
Sorry, bravetroon, but I'm never downloading your scamware. I just won't, hahaha.
>>107116649>firefox>ubiquitousi dont think its ever been more popular than internet explorer let alone chrome
Brave is spyware.
>>107117219It was more popular than internet explorer at one point. And was set to be dominant. Then chrome came along. And firefox went down the drain. I saw the rise of Firefox from the early days of Netscape Navigator -> Netscape communicator -> Mozilla -> Firebird -> Firefox. So have a long almost full history in memory.
dont carenot using bravebuy a ad next time
>>107116649I made nearly a $1000.00 us in BAT coin using Brave between 2018-2022. Though sadly, because I live in Canada, Uphold no longer functions in Canada as of early 2025. Brave Browser still requires Uphold for dumping BAT coin to.
>>107117255doesn't seem right
>makes a browser to defeat spyware>makes it using chrome>chrome later disables the ability to use privacy addons with manifest v3>brave can't use privacy addons
>>107117600brave has v3brave has built in privacy tools (adblock/noscript)brave hosts v3 third party extensions (ublock/umatrix)
>>107117255>almost full history in memoryyou should run memtest on your brain just in case
>>107116649I don't mind but is it still based on chromium?
>>107117625its based on khtml
>>107117616i remember when normies used firefox too
>>107117628ok boomer
>>107117219>>107117552It depends on how you massage the stats. So much of the "IE was huge" stat tracking is from shit running on internal company computers interacting with sites providing services to those clients. Remember, there wasn't the same kind of near universal tracking via third party analytics back in 2005, so you could get wildly inconsistent results depending on where you were looking for data.Many companies didn't allow for any browsers besides internet explorer. How do you count companies that purge all cookies every time their computers rebooted? Do you treat them as separate instances across days/weeks? Do you throw all of them into one pile based on the IP? Most of the methodology for these kinds of tests is fundamentally flawed in some way, and they never disclose how they gathered data. Another example. A lot of government websites 'required' IE 6, so some companies were running IEtab as a default in firefox because their IT department had enough power to do that and too many problems with internet explorer. How does the stat tracking reflect that. We could track it because we embedded elements in the background of pages that rendered differently on IE and firefox, but most of these charts are just looking at user agents.If you exclude corporate IPs from these kinds of things firefox was arguably a dominant player, possibly even supermajority depending on what sites we're talking about. Tech sites often saw sub 10% IE traffic, and on those opera was actually a relevant browser. Game forums were routinely sub 20% IE. It wasn't across the board or anything, but IE was definitely dying, even going back to 2005.>sourceI was a backend php dev for a bunch of small sites back in the day. I can say that our data consistently showed astronomically higher firefox usage than was widely reported.Of course it's all chrome now. Firefox fucked the dog repeatedly and google literally only keeps them around so they aren't quite a true monopoly.
>>107117705id believe it, im pretty sure i started using it around 2005 or 2006, i dont really remember anyone but me caring about it back then though
>>107117773My mother was a teacher and I gave her a flash drive with portable firefox and adblock on it to use when she went to work. That was back in the days when a 128MB flash drive cost 40 dollars. A few months later gave her IE tab or something to that effect because the online grade tracking software that they used started pretending to require IE 6.She was so happy not having ads on sites in 2004-5 or whenever it was, and enough of her colleagues were jealous that it actually became something her union complained about, and the school IT switched over to firefox. The IT department sold it to the school board as saving on bandwidth. They paid nearly a thousand a month for a T2 line (might have been T3, but I don't think so) for a school of several hundred, and the teachers in the computer classes were complaining about how everything took forever to load when they had a class of 30 trying to pull a webpage.Little things like that are how replacing IE got started in a lot of cases. It was so bad that a replacement that actually fucking worked could punch through corporate and government bureaucracy. Hardly universal, but people sincerely hated IE that much, and the more technical you were, or the tighter your budget was, the larger the hate for it. Even non-technical people fucking despised IE once they got a taste of how much better things could be. The only people that didn't seem to consistently despise IE were execs in large companies or government bureaucracies that could afford to throw lots of money at hardware and they often blocked all unauthorized sites with their multimillion dollar firewall.
