If they offer free trials so I can evaluate its worth to me personally, maybe I'd try it. Otherwise I'll keep fighting every website I visit with my massive list of ad-blockers and privacy tools. At least the latter option is free. And if it doesn't remove EVERY clickbait and dark pattern in said sites, I won't do it.

This is _exactly_ why websites are as bad as they are right now.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. If you want to support an alternative source of funding for content, then this appears to be a great positive step towards an internet without tracking and invasive advertisements, promoted by the only alternative to Google in the browser market.

If you want to take a philosophical stance, you should reject the tracker and leave websites that don't adhere to your strict criteria.

Ya I guess my statements were extreme. Probably written late at night.
