      Also, their whole business model was (is?) just replacing ads with ads they get paid for.

        Uh… no? It just puts sponsored backgrounds when you open new tabs or windows notifications if you opt-in

        It never replaced ads in websites afaik

            Sure, so? It’s still opt-in, and by default it sends the generated crypto money to creators and websites you visit

            If you don’t like it, don’t enable it? They’re pretty transparent about how it works overall

            They have pretty much abandoned this feature anyways

              It’s opt-in for now, how many times do we have to play this game?

              I’ll keep using Firefox with uBo to actually block ads instead of a browser that’s running its own ad delivery system.
