Cause of death: the autopsy

The privacy mood was the loudest of the week, and it scored 17 of 25, under the bar of 18: at least six free in-browser extensions already do exactly this.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.
