Here's Why I Don't Trust Brave Browser

The Founder and CEO of Brave Software has quite a past...

Brendan Eich - Co-Founder and CEO of Brave

Attended University of Illinois Urbana-Campaign

This University houses the National Center for Supercomputing Applications which has also employed Marc Andreessen. It was established via The "Black Proposal" in partnership with the National Science Foundation (inspired by the Rockefeller Foundation).

Worked At MicroUnity

Founded by John Moussouris with funding from William Randolph Hearst III via Kleiner Perkins. In the early 1990s, MicroUnity was backed by over $100 million from companies like Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Motorola, and telecommunications leaders like Time Warner and John Malone at Tele-Communications Inc.

MicroUnity developed its first designs in BiCMOS at a time when Intel Pentium Pro and SUN Microsystems SPARC were designed in BiCMOS.

Worked At Mosaic/Netscape

It was here he worked with Marc Andreessen, Eric Bina, James Clark. While working at Netscape, Brendan Eich created JavaScript with the "approval" of Bill Joy from SUN Microsystems, according to an interview Brendan Eich did with InfoWorld. At first the language was called Mocha, but it was renamed LiveScript in September 1995 and finally, in a joint announcement with SUN Microsystems, it was named JavaScript in December.

More on SUN Microsystems

Short for "Stanford University Network Microsystems", this company would eventually go on to be absorbed by Larry Ellisons Oracle, whose first client was the CIA through In-Q-Tel.

Brendan never worked directly for SUN Microsystems, but the release of JavaScript was a joint venture with Netscape.

Founded The Mozilla Foundation

In early 1998, Eich co-founded the free and open-source software project Mozilla with Jamie Zawinski and others, where he served as Mozilla's Chief Architect. AOL bought Netscape in 1999. After AOL shut down the Netscape browser unit in July 2003, Eich helped spin out the Mozilla Foundation.

The Mozilla Foundation would include Joichu Ito, former head of the MIT Media Lab, who was forced to resign due to his business dealings with Jeffery Epstein.

Mozilla would also include MIT Media Labs Reid Hoffman, who also had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Hoffman was an early investor in OpenAI and Facebook (he even introduced Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel). Hoffman attended Stanford University (same as Thiel), is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, The Bilderberg Group, and The Defense Innovation Board. Hoffman joined Apple Computer in 1994, was a member of PayPal's Board of Directors at the time it was founded, founder of LinkedIn (in which Thiel has invested). Hoffman also co-founded Endeavor Global with Linda Rottenberg (fellow CFR Member) who is part of the World Economic Forum. Endeavor Global is partnered with both the WEF and Klaus Schwabs "The Schwab Foundation". Hoffman serves on the Board of Bill Gates Microsoft, and also donates to Bill Gates Foundation "The Giving Pledge".

Brendan is an Advisor of Palantir

According to CrunchBase, Brendan Eich is an Advisor at Peter Thiel's Palantir. Palantir is obviously involved in too much to name here for now, but should be noted that Peter Thiel had previous business relationships with both Jeffrey Epstein and former PM of Israel Ehud Barak, and Thiel also provides Israel assistance in it's Genocide of Gaza and Global Surveillance Programs. Peter Thiel is also a member of the Bilderberg Group alongside Hoffman, as well as Palantirs CEO Alex Karp. Karp and Thiel also partner with the WEF.

An Advisor at Box

Box is an online file sharing and cloud content management service offering unlimited storage, custom branding, and administrative controls. Brendan is also listed as a member of their Advisory Board. Box received funding from both General Atlantic, and KKR & Co.

KKR & Co. is co-headed by Ken Mehlman, who was a member of the Bush Administration, is a member of Mark Zuckerbergs Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, also sits on the Council on Foreign Relations, he was 62nd Chairman of the Republican National Committee from 2005 to 2007. In 2007, Bush appointed Mehlman to a five-year term on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council.

He also participated in anti-Proposition 8 Fundraising alongside Peter Thiel. Mehlman also serves as chairman of the American Investment Council, and is co-Chairman of the American Enterprise Institute's National Council.

More on American Enterprise Institute

American Enterprise Institute is tied to Purdue Pharma, and was the primary outlet for Sally Satel to run PR on behalf of Purdue to help cover up the Opioid Crisis. It was here that she wrote stories that attempted to steer the narrative on the Opioid Crisis, often blaming victims for their addictions, recommending increasing doses regularly, and even attempted to have the age of prescription for OxyContin lowered to 11 years old.

JD Vance has also worked with AEI in the past, and specifically selected Sally Satel to head his anti-Opioid Campaign, "Our Ohio Renewal". This took place after the Sackler Family and Purdue had been criminally charged for their role in the Opioid Crisis and are receiving a $7.4 billion dollar settlement, in which Purdue had plead guilty in 2007 for.

Founded Brave Software

Responsible for the Brave Web Browser, Brave Software received seed funding from Peter Thiel's VC Firm Founders Fund, as well as Dan Moreheads Pantera Capital

Pantera Capital has also contributed to Paradigm Operations LP, alongside funding from Sam Bankman-Frieds Alameda Research, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Marc Andreessen. Paradigm was founded by Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam and Sequoia Capital Partner Matt Huang.

More on Netscape & Excite

Marc Andreessen and Brendan Eich have worked together at Mosaic/Netscape, but Netscape also partnered with another company called Excite. Excite originally started as Architext in June 1993 in Cupertino, California, created by Graham Spencer, Joe Kraus, Mark VanHaren, Ryan McIntyre, Ben Lutch and Martin Reinfried, who were all students at Stanford University. In January 1995, Vinod Khosla, a former Stanford student and partner at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, arranged a US $250,000 "first round" backing for the project, with US $1.5 million provided over a ten month period. Excite also received funding from Intuit, the company that owns TurboTax and Credit Karma, which was started by Tom Proulx and Scott Cook of Stanford. Eventually John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins joined them, along with funding from Kleiner Perkins. John Doerr is also a Stanford Alumni, whose namesake is on the "Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability". John Doerr is also part of the Presidents Countil on Jobs and Competitiveness. In January 1996, George Bell joined Excite as its CEO. George Bell works with General Catalyst Partners, and is a member of the Trust for Public Land, which is responsible for projects like the "Virgin Islands National Park Expansion". (Jeffrey Epsteins "Little Saint James Island" was infamously located in the Virgin Islands.) Excite also purchased a search engine called "Magellan", which was founded by Isabel Maxwell, the daughter of Robert Maxwell, and sister of Ghislane Maxwell.

Joe Kraus from Excite would go on to work with Google, investing in various projects both personally and through his time at Google Ventures Management Company LLC. He's invested in companies like Uber, CoinBase (Co-Founded by Brian Armstrong from IBM and Member of Bill Gates, "The Giving Pledge" and Fred Ehrsam from Goldman Sachs), Nest, 23AndMe, (Anne Wojicki, who attended Jeffrey Epsteins "The Edge" Conference with her future husband and Google Co-Founder Sergey Brin, as well as Larry Page, Googles other Co-Founder, and whose sister Susan Wojiciki resided over YouTube for years for claiming that Google started in her garage), and a company called CrowdStrike (yes that one).

Joe Kraus also invested in "The Climate Corporation" which belongs to Monsanto. Charles Allen Thomas of MIT, Transylvania University, and the National Research Committee (mostly MIT) was pivotal in Monsanto's "success".
