"Error establishing a database connection"

Strong AI smell, lots of mixed signals in the project's purported goals, half the site is broken if you click on links. I remember Midori as a light-weight open-source browser. Is this a scam?

Midori has terrible track record. Constantly lagging behind on security updates from Firefox. Until just a few months ago they were still stuck on v128 but still promoting themselves. Zero advisories or communications on known vulnerabilities. Recently they bumped straight to latest at the time (no longer ESR) in a minor update but still don't seem able to keep up. I'd be wary of this mesh vpn thing.

For a vpn with mixnet that actually works I recommend NYM. Really cool tech, cool crowd, and constantly improving. More anonymous and private than tor in a lot of respects. Has all the affiliates you would expect: Snowden, Manning etc. https://nym.com/

Recently did a personal roundup of firefox forks and ended up with Mullvad Browser, with Tor Browser on the side. Main factors being security and release latencies. Since a month or so also running Konform on the side after seeing it on Show.
