    Edit: (since you finally clarified what you were talking about)

    At the very top of the page:

    I’m incredibly disappointed in Kagi’s partnership with Brave search. Brave, as you know, is led by Brendan Eich. Mr. Eich is infamous for his unrepentant financial support of California’s Prop 8, aka California’s gay marriage ban. Mr. Eich’s homophobia is so disgusting that he was forced to resign as the leader of Mozilla after a massive outcry from their employees and community members. Since then, Mr. Eich has only defended his homophobia, and has gone on to spread misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.

    I refuse to financially support any organization that partners with an organization that tolerates such hate and ignorance. It’s a shame, too. Kagi seemed like the right answer for the internet. But your success cannot come at the expense of continued attacks on the LGBTQ+ community and scientific literacy from people like Eich.

    As of right now, Kagi is yet another organization that puts money ahead of people, just like Google. If it’s too late to back out of your Brave partnership, then please set a date when the partnership will end and refuse to renew it. Then, apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for partnering with an open and notorious homophobe.

              I did. Didn’t find anything about the “funding a bigot” part specifically. So what’s the deal with the whole “funding a bigot” thing?
