      I had a small mountain of BAT they locked me out of due to shoddy linking with their banking affiliates and out of date DRM practices locking me out of my account due to too many devices being logged in (each OS update counted as its own device).

      I noticed you didn’t have that linked, that’s because not every shitty move a company makes gets news coverage. Sorry I don’t fit into your narrow view on what constitutes a valid reason.

          The banking backend that grifted me is called uphold and at the time that was the ONLY way to move BAT out of their wallet.

          The device limit was a known issue for years and I left before they fixed it.

          While I was still a user I would try their forum for support. Big shocker, LOTS of other users had the same issue and reports got ignored or muted by the mods there.

      We really need a based privacy-first Chromium fork… something that

      • allows installing addons from a custom source
      • removes everything Google tracking related
      • adds good sync compatible with things like floccus
      • is hardened with switches like MS Edge
      • has a good UI like Firefox
      • restricts fingerprinting by randomizing or blocking many identifiers

      You can dig as much shit on Mozilla. Every big browser company right now is shitty
