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)
