    Did you read the whole thing and you’re just okay with them quietly pulling sponsored links for FTX?

      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)
