I refuse to use a browser with a cryptocurrency attached to it. It feels like the only reason it is being pushed so hard is so BAT holders can make a buck. It might be a great browser but I will always think of it as onecoin with a some chrome tossed in.
Who cares? You don't have to use the crypto part of it at all.
How do you say VPN⁰ out loud? Would be good to clarify that in the opening paragraph.

Until that update flips that flag and the opt-in becomes the default. Do you trust Facebook to honor your privacy settings?
Facebook can't change the privacy rules or the settings of your browser.

But would you be more OK sharing your AlgoVPN exit? With the same sort of blacklist/whitelisr approach?
Probably. Given that AWS/GCP can't trace back to me then maybe. But at the same time I'm afraid government surveillance is government surveillance and petty tactics around hiding your identity to AWS/GCP won't cut it.

Idk – with something as crucial as a browser I want the people who give it to me to have a clear and obvious incentive structure.

With other browsers, the clear and obvious incentive is "to get paid to spy on users". I'm not a big Brave fan but saying their incentives are worse than Chrome or even Firefox is ridiculous.
Please expand.
