I used it until they introduced widgets in nov 2020 and screwed with my start page, then switched back to opera. Of course bat, rewards and the other junk was disabled from the onset. Dunno why bother and build your business model around such useless non features. The browser is pretty good otherwise. Ipfs is nice but not enough to switch back, not until the start page, frequents is unscrewed anyway. Others will probably follow suit and add ipfs as well. A torrent downloader and magnet links would be nice as well.


For those reading, the start page/new tab stuff can be trimmed and removed with a few clicks in Settings if desired.


I just needed a multiline top sites like on the old version, nit just a line, not disable it.

Also funny how all browsers populate the top sites by default with facebook, amazon and other privacy perpetrators, instead of leaving it empty. Like their obnoxious preinstalled or top suggested apps aren't enough of a nuisance. Go ahead, help them gain even more market share.
