18+ robustjumprope,

Thought about making a poll but I think I'd rather just open discussion with this:

Do you think it is acceptable to use software made by someone you think is a bad person if the software better protects your privacy and security (assuming you want as much privacy as possible)?

I love Firefox, but I want to have a good Chromium backup for the sites where Firefox doesn't work (also developing websites is important to test on multiple browsers) but I don't want to be stuck with vanilla chrome. I've also read from many sources that Brave is the best Chromium browser for privacy. However, I've spoken before about how I do not want to support their homophobic CEO, Brandon Eich, who was fired as CEO of Firefox for his campaign donations before starting Brave. He clearly cares a lot about user privacy, but at the same time, I don't want to support someone who openly donated funds to anti-LGBT legislation.

Which is more important? My moral objections or my privacy? This is why I tend to use Firefox anyway, as Mozilla is more trustworthy imo. But for cases like sites that don't work with Firefox or using PWAs (which Firefox removed on desktop) that I would really like to be able to use, I'm not sure what I think.
