Many Ethereum based projects are not very Tor friendly. I've run into many issues that mostly come from some external service provider blocking requests originating from Exit Nodes. I've had issues with Gnosis, Cowswap, Uniswap, and so on. Obviously, I host local frontends in these cases. Many users won't though.

The opportunity cost to spending time on privacy preserving features is too high when trying to grow fast. Is there a way to make the UX better by opting into something that offers privacy by default?

Not sure what you specifically mean by opting into something that offers privacy by default. Could you expand?

Imagine a wallet with 10x better UX than the most popular wallet today but also preserved user privacy

Something that I learned from doing Bitcoin core dev was to design protocol improvements that make it cheaper to be privacy preserving Intuitively it should always be cheaper to operate in the clear so following this philosophy means to not add certain features to the protocol

Yes, so this is of course totally unrelated to the protocol since I'm just talking about software solutions. It's more of the culture of what types of wallets are being created / maintained and also the role of the EF in this (note how Parity/XMR provide wallet implementations). I'll elaborate in a post.

I like to think of software solutions in terms of protocols to make their properties easier to analyze Definitely agree with you and looking forward to your post
