Criticisms.

  • I can't see it having anything to do with KDE, so it feels like they're falsely banking on their trust by starting the name with a K.
  • Downstream software is rarely more secure than upstream (due to update delays and lower built-up trust).
  • uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger? You don't really need both do you.

All that aside, there are things I like:

  • It's based on Firefox ESR, the best version of Firefox.
  • RemoteSettings is disabled. This has been a real concern for me because it makes it possible to compromise my Desktop, enable the syncing of extensions, and infect my desktop with malware via a compromised extension.

I can’t see it having anything to do with KDE, so it feels like they’re falsely banking on their trust by starting the name with a K.

there's absolutely no reason to think that it would; lots of software projects begin with a K.
