I hope this works out well and Mozilla takes notice. I've never understood why Mozilla doesn't at least take donations for Firefox.

Paying for your browser is crazy when open-source ones like firefox and soon ladybird exist.

I have found literally 0 incentive to switch from firefox to anything else.

Interesting that it’s paying to remove features. Seems reasonable considering it’s paying to get an officially supported build, and if you’d rather not there’s probably a fork doing the same out there. Edit: That it’s free (as in WinRAR?) on Linux is interesting; what would be the motive for doing that?

Upto 10 activations? Ie if I reinstall the app or my OS 10 times, that's it - buy another code? Hm

There is no button or option for me to buy Brave Origin.

I'd use Brave, and pay for it, if it wasn't running Blink. I know Gecko is a pain in the butt to use, but I'd rather not make Google's hegemony on the web stronger by using their code. Sorry Brendan, hopefully you'll look into Ladybird once it's more usable.

How much does it cost?

So by having you pay to disable Tor, the llm, and all their extra features are they basically admitting that none of their users actually want those things and that bundling those things is how they generate revenue?
