Existing user who had no complaints before, but I have one now: it has started dumping a Waterfox directory in my home directory. Tried yet again to use their default search engine. Got a captcha which requires me to enable js on a 3rd part

Well, my lens tends to be geopolitical rather than economic. Privacy isn't some axiomatic metric for me. I just decide if someone is an ally and I am willing to put up with the cost of their action. With Anubis I don't see it bein

Show me a successful "steady, quiet, plodding" person from the outside, and I'll show you someone who "doesn't know how to rest" and continually makes "fresh mistakes" on the inside.

You mixed up Light and Dark. Creator-knows-best bondage-and-discipline is the Dark side. Trusting people with power is the Light side.
