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".

Quite a controversial decision… I love Kagi though, but I don’t understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.
Kagi can go fuck right off with whatever guerilla marketing program keeps constantly putting it in my face.
It’s clearly not organic growth, and I will never try it because now I don’t trust it.
Nor should you, now that you know the project is beholden to scumbag money.
Capitalism ruins everything.
