It’s not. And its not supposed to be. Its to fund the development of the browser.
“Deal with worse UX or pay us to develop more crap” is not a good way to entice “voluntary” donations. Though I guess they know their audience is full of copium anyway, maybe it is an effective way at least, we’ll see.
Would you like to know or were just just wanting to be contrarian?
Funny you should say that, usually when I check tech threads - somehow you’re always there being downvoted to all hell for writing something edgy in a very pedantic (i.e. obnoxious) way. Including this thread. You could have just listed the damn features twice already when prompted about them, but you’re actively choosing to continue bullshitting as though you’re on twitter and farming for clout. I think I’ll just block you now.

That’s okay because that’s not what’s happening, as I’ve already explained. It is a purchase, not a donation. It’s not a novel approach, many other beloved FOSS software take a similar approach to secure funding. Off the top of my head, Zorin OS, Immich, OSMAnd, OnlyOffice, Cryptpad, etc.

I was never prompted. You could have just asked. But I think it’s abundantly clear at this point that you just don’t want to know.

Thank you for blocking me, I appreciate it.
