This is proprietary software, so it will never be included in Trisquel.
I'm also skeptical of claims that it is privacy-respecting. Without the
freedom to study the software, we only have the company's word that the
browser is not malware, and the privacy features advertised, (private
browsing by default, removal of Google tracking from Chromium, proxied
search) all seem to be things that you can have in a free browser, so
there is no reason to give up your freedom to get these things.

This is apparently free software judging by the license (though it might
have other freedom issues like DRM), so in that way it is better than
Epic Browser. However, the Basic Attention Token integration is not
something I expect everyone to want in their browser, and I don't see
how it is particularly privacy focused. It does block third-party ads
that might track the user, but you can install an adblocker in Abrowser
to do the same thing, and Abrowser won't replace these ads with local
ones.

I find that whenever a site doesn't work in Abrowser, it's usually
because either (a) Abrowser's privacy settings block something that the
page is trying to do, or (b) the site requires support for DRM. If such
a site works in another browser, that might not necessarily be a good
thing. Can you give some examples of sites that don't work in Abrowser?
