#23In addition to ad blocking, VPN is becoming a very important feature for modern web browsers. With so many countries blocking websites and websites geoblocking users it becomes necessary to help users circumvent that to access a wide web.

Interestingly, Opera trying to compete with other browsers makes it pursue users interests, while other browsers yet again don't see Opera as competition, ignore users and pursue megacorp interests instead.

#25Looks very good to see VPNs and crypto integrated as first-class citizens into a webbrowser. Also love the nightmode.
What is the point of having crypto integrated into the browser? Native bitcoin mining malware?
It's crucial to UX. Otherwise if you want to buy something you need to switch to the crypto wallet, pay for it by copying and pasting addresses and wait for the other side to pick up your transaction and show confirmation in the browser.

It's the name of the ethereum JS library:

The idea is that cryptocurrencies will represent the 3rd wave of the internet after web 2.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0
Although Tim Berners lee tried to coin web 3.0 as the semantic web but that's not really taken off as a concept.

It’s a small jump from blocking websites to blocking popular VPNs. I know two countries which block websites (Russia and Kazakhstan) and they either block or have plans to block VPNs. I don’t see centralized VPN as effective solution for that problem.
