After signing up, MEGA suggested that I download Google Chrome to use the service (I was using Safari). I was expecting some affiliate link there, but there wasn't any.

I'm not sure if MegaConz is meant to be ironic or not.

Defiantly ironic, have you seen his car number plates?

Not sure if you meant 'definitely', but that works even better :)

The site claims safer but it doesn't feel safer. The first click opens my files for me to select one to upload, yet why am I going to upload a file to a completely unknown entity? Who is/are Mega?
