SAN FRANCISCO, September 28, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — The former CEO of Mozilla has released a new Internet browser called Brave.

Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript, continues to lead the technological revolution with Brave, an innovative concept in Internet browsers.

After blowing away the competition (read: Microsoft's Internet Explorer) with the Internet browser Firefox, Eich has come up with Brave, a nearly ad-free, lightning-fast browser that eliminates intrusive ads as well as common but unwanted tracking tack-ons.

A tech legend for his Java and Firefox contributions, Eich was betrayed by his contemporaries and forced out of business as CEO of Mozilla, the company behind Firefox, because he supported natural marriage.

When it was revealed in 2014 that Eich donated $1,000 to California’s Proposition 8 ballot proposal, which defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman, he was blackballed, even though Proposition 8 was supported by the majority of Californians and easily passed in 2008.

feel free to move this elsewhere if you like, just thought more people would see in the lounge to start. i have installed it on my laptop, and iphone and it does block a lot of stuff without add ons. not sure what is to come yet, but this is at least a start.

heads up: this is very new beta, so dont expect a clean install like other established browsers.

My wishlist for browsers would include:

Forced security updates, optional feature updates
More reliance on reputation based services - sites hosting malware/viruses should be blocked
Built in AV for downloads (including Sandboxing)

Bring back Netscape

Very interesting stuff. Always fun for a guy in Tech Support when a new browser is released. I'll play around with it and see how it does.
