I think the idea is really cool, but you couldn't pay me to give any of my personal information to that site, much less download and use a browser that comes from that site. Quite a few things come off as very suspicious:
- The lack of any styling whatsoever. It doesn't even have a stylesheet. I don't think I've ever seen a scammer/spammer put less effort into their fake sites. And I've definitely never seen a legitimate site do this. Congrats, you're the first ;-)
- Not only does the site have no info about what it actually does, but there is no meta title or description to tell me either. At this point, no explanation could convince me this is a serious project.
- No contact information at all, except for the free@face-me-not.com email address. Even a trip to WHOIS returns zero contact info (that's right zero!). Other interesting facts from WHOIS include a) domain was registered only yesterday, b) domain was registered for only a year, and c) domain was registered through a registrar who's tagline is "No bullshit" (this last fact I just think is funny and interesting, and doesn't affect my judgement of credibility).
- The domain name (face-me-not.com) isn't very good. I typically try to steer clear of hyphenated domain names if at all possible. For your own projects, it's difficult to tell people about it in conversation. "Yeah it's face-hyphen-me-hyphen-not-dot-com." For that reason, I usually assume sites with hyphens are not serious projects.
I do believe you took the MVP methodology to the extreme. I'm guessing you spent about 10 minutes on this, including time to register the domain and setup the email. That being said, if you get serious about this, definitley let me know, because it's a cool idea.
