    Not sure about OP,

    I read the whole thing and it doesn’t really bother me because I’d never touch their coin crap. The whole we’ll pay you to browse smells like a pyramid scheme.

    Downsides:

    CEO is an ass: check

    They’ll sell my traffic: check

    They’ve added a half assed insecure tor implementation: check

    They’ve replaced ads on websites with their own to an illegal level: check

    They’re trying to use crypto currency to fund themselves and did that to a level that got them charged by the FTC: check

    Once their crypto plans fails, they’ll probably either sell more of my data or fold up: check

    Upsides:

    Runs all my chrome plugins

    Tight IPFS integration without running Kubo

    Decent P2P bookmark/history syncing to unlimited nodes without making an account

    Very solid anti-fingerprinting when combined with privacy badger.

    Small enough that selling my data will have less reach than Google or Microsoft selling my data

    Blocks youtube ads, even on mobile (while they still can)
