Hear that guys?! The pyramid scheme is opt-in! Not scummy whatsoever
The referral links weren't. That should have been a thought that crossed a developers' mind and immediately left it. It definitely shouldn't have made it into a test build, and it super shouldn't have made it into a public release. That it ever made it that far is enough reason to never use the browser again. The developers have proven that they cannot be trusted with your privacy.
Sure, you have to sign up for it but you can't remove the hardcoded crypto wallet extension and therefore can't actually opt-out of having it shoved in your face (at least, it was the time i tried their browser and found it to be inferior in every way to just using Firefox and uBlock Origin).
