Definitely, but when there's a good alternative it's simple to move
Firefox? I use it, but it's a big org, one that Brave's CEO even helped to create. If we dig enough and we'll find dirt on people. And just one or two months ago, they displayed full window ads on Firefox.
My point is that if we do this with everyone or every project, then we'll run out of software that is acceptable to use. If I'm using anything related with GNU, then I have to stop because of Richard Stallman's controversies. Linux? Are they all nice people? I doubt it.
I'm not saying that people should use Brave - I certainly don't use it - it's just that if we have high bars for every piece of software we use, we'd run out of software to use (at least I would).
