A software engineer and the former CEO of Mozilla (creator of the Firefox web browser), has designed a new browser despite being shunned for his belief in traditional marriage.
LifeSiteNews.com reports that Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript and the former CEO of Mozilla, has released a new internet browser called Brave.
Eichs is an adept computer engineer, but he was heavily shunned after it was revealed that he had donated $1,000 to California’s Proposition 8 bill.
Proposition 8 defined marriage as the union between one man and one woman and went against gay marriage.
For his support of the bill, Eichs was called a racist, Nazi, and inhumane. However, he did not back down on his beliefs and he has now returned to the tech scene with a newer, better internet browser.
Because Eichs still has enemies, there were those who tried to discredit Brave, saying that it illegally blocked ads.
However, Eichs said this is not the case:
"We do not tamper with any first-party publisher content, including native ads that do not use third-party tracking."
Catherine Corre, who is part of the Brave project, explained why Eichs chose the name:
“Brendan picked the name 'Brave' because we need users who will take a stand and fight back," Corre told LifeSiteNews. "We see third party ads and tracking as toxic, and we block that by default."
