They're not actively replacing elements on a web page, but they're still getting paid to show you ads and you can opt in for some crypto nonsense.

    Sure, so? It's still opt-in, and by default it sends the generated crypto money to creators and websites you visit

    If you don't like it, don't enable it? They're pretty transparent about how it works overall

    They have pretty much abandoned this feature anyways

    It's opt-in for now, how many times do we have to play this game?

    I'll keep using Firefox with uBo to actually block ads instead of a browser that's running its own ad delivery system.
