First, there's the fact that it's a crypto browser, and crypto is largely associated with scams of various kinds.

Secondly, they whitelist a ton of ads from facebook and twitter. Not good.

Thirdly, they spend a lot of time adding features nobody cares about and doesn't give people ways to disable them (VPN, some of the crypto stuff, etc).

Rewards is not opt-in, it's opt-out? except apparently the opt-out doesn't work?
