This is not a challenger. They are just trying to wrap the actual frontier model providers and skim as much of your data s possible to sell it and advertise to you. It’s just a nasty layer built on top of the already existing nasty laters. The CEO is also sketchy AF when talking about privacy. I would not go anywhere near this browser. If you give them additional PR, make sure it includes the caveats, Techcrunch. We don’t need more degenerate tech companies to add to the list.
