So #Kagi is now partnering with #Brave, i.e. the company of Brendan Eich, who has been CEO at Mozilla for eleven days before he had to leave due to massive criticism of his homophobic views. Brave's most well-known product is a browser with its own cryptocurrency, co-designed by Eich.

A feedback post asking Kagi to reconsider has been closed by Kagi's founder Vladimir Prelovac because "Considering company x founder political views is not a factor in [their] evaluation".

I'm sorry, but if your company's slogan is "humanize the web", you can't be doing business with someone who dehumanizes others for who they love.

Vlad argues that Brave's API improves the quality of search results, and "providing the best search in the world is what people pay us to do".

Maybe. But making sure that my money doesn't go to Brave is way more important to me than slight improvements to search. If that means I'll have to delete my #Kagi account, I will do so, without hesitation.
