In the current world, yes. Because you are giving them market share in the browser realm apparently. Just like using Brave is supporting Brendan Eich's past opinions.
I dunno, it might sound silly, but I imagine there's a line for everyone. Would you keep using software if you found out it's developed by an ardent neo-Nazi?
it's not like there's 5 guys on the planet with awful opinions and we have to cancel them to save humanity from doom.
A lot of awful people keep their mouths shut but they're racist, homophobic, transphobic, neo-Nazis, etc. I guarantee some have contributed to the Linux kernel. Many have been employed by Microsoft. One of them probably helped develop your favorite game.
Now what?
People need to get a grip on reality. Awful people are everywhere. If we stopped using every invention and piece of technology created by a monstrous person we wouldn't have a lot of things.
The important question is: "Are you by extension of using the [software] funding them or helping them achieve their goals to be a horrible person?"

The answer is usually no.
