Hey! I wrote this blog post and happy to answer any questions.
I was expecting some of the immediate privacy reactions. Privacy was a key reason I set out to build it. We have to build trust on this part and eventually will -- we're just getting started and are still and private beta (making a decent browser turned out to be remarkably hard).
To make it beyond clear, there will never be any selling or sharing of data with any third-parties. Before we open the app to more users we will make this resoundingly clear in the privacy policy and terms. We localize as much as possible and make it very obvious when something is being stored on our servers (currently only truncated URLs of your likes/bookmarks and explicit "store for me" type interactions).
Finally, most of this browser will be made open source (less some of the ML and domain specific solutions). The innovation here for me is moving whole browser stack into web tech so that more people can hack on and create better browsing experiences. Getting to parity++ was the first major difficult step and the milestone we just reached.
It's still super early and we're learning a lot! I really do appreciate your skepticism and feedback. We will do everything we need to earn your trust.
