What is your critique against wasabi wallet? I have been looking into privacy UIs lately and searching for criticisms of different implementations.

Wasabi has a broken coinjoin implementation that has resulted in users revealing their identity unwillingly.

They are also in partnership with chain analysis firms and imply political censorship for their coinjoin coordinator

Thanks for the response, I agree the chain analysis was bad but now that you can choose your coordinator, and zksnarks shut down their coordinator, that shouldn't effect the actual coinjoin process.

As for the video, what makes this a bad coinjoin implementation vs. user error? Wasn't it the user's fault for combining post mixes? Wouldn't that happen in all post coinjoins, no matter the implementation? What made Wasabi so vulnerable to this happening?

Generally curious, thanks if you can provide any answer to my questions.
