| You're right. About security, you provided very useful technical elements, so I'll review each of them (publicly) and we'll find solutions. Yes, conflicts of interests are always an issue.
Finding the right balance between sustainability and freedom. Some companies outright want to maximize revenue at the expense of the user. This is not the case here (that's the benefit of no investors, or just being independent, with all the caveats it has too). Some browsers (Vivaldi, Cheetah Mobile) for example do affiliates link, I'm not too much in favor of that. You get me nervous sometimes with your strong opinions, but I actually appreciate that someone skilled takes so much time and interest. About DDG, maybe it's worth talking to them or Qwant (Qwant are friends of Kiwi, so you can say Hi to them from me). It's in their interest to promote a privacy-focused browser, and yours to pair with the best ethical match (donations are fine too, just personally I think they create another type of pressure) |
