Let me guess... Existing users are excluded from participating? Cause I ain't got no pop up banner anywhere. Or is cause I'm European?

    Checkout Heluim Browser (GitHub) instead, but keep in mind that they don't have auto-update. But you can add their windows GitHub repo to your RSS reader to be alerted of any new updates: https://github.com/imputnet/helium-windows/releases.atom

    Edit 1:.... Why am I being downvoted?

    It looks like they have automatic updates by now

    Are you sure?

    I downloaded it 2 weeks ago and it had no auto updates warning.
