yeah the fact that it came from a CEO who was fired from firefox for being homophobic is one of the main reasons I'll never touch it with a 10 foot pole. It's different from firefox in all the wrong ways, and some of the cooler things are just gimmicks.
AFAIK he wasn't fired explicitly, but was forced to resign from is job as CEO due to public outrage.
I totally agree with you on that point. The blockchain is here just to intrigue and make people think it's cool, while it works just like any virtual money. (blockchain in general does have useful properties, bu when its centralised like it is in BAT).
Same goes with the TOR tabs. In most cases, a VPN is a much better solution than TOR.
