Brandon Eich’s exit from Mozilla came nearly as quickly as his appointment as CEO did. He’s moved on, though, and ready to unleash a browser that wants to put a stop to badvertising on the web.
Eich is now at the helm of Brave Software. They’ve been working on a new open-source web browser that, like Firefox, is laser-focused on protecting its users’ privacy. Brave says none of the other major browsers can match it when it comes to privacy, however, and that has a lot to do with the built-in ad-blocker.
