It's true that it does display ads, and there are links to several cryptocurrency services. They're "safe" ads, and you can turn them off.

@candyman337 @Albin9326 what browser do you use? Hardened Firefox or some variant of it?

I'm not SUPER concerned about privacy tbh, I mean I care about it, but I'll make some concessions for the sake of convenience, like in the form of a mozilla account to transfer settings and addon's between computers. So I probably wouldn't be a good example, but I use waterfox, it recently just went independent after being bought by a company awhile back, and I like it. But if you're looking for a privacy/security focused browser librefox I hear is a good one. It's based on firefox and has a lot of security features built in by default.

If you're looking for a VPN solution I highly recommend mullvad vpn, super secure, makes an effort to respect your privacy, and is genuinely one of the fastest vpns I've used.
