   @thomasfuchs Not to mention it positions it self as a "privacy focused" browser and yet it was caught injecting affiliate links into URLs.

   Their TOR implementation leaked DNS queries effectively making it pointless.

   They collected cryptocurrency donations (BAT payments) using a system that looked like people were donating to youtube creators like Tom Scott.

   And more...

     @thomasfuchs It's getting harder and harder to find a decent browser nowadays. I just started using Vivaldi, so I really hope it doesn't turn out to be made by Nazis.
