I am hoping there is a market for such a browser. I, for one, would much rather pay for a browser that looks out for my (privacy) interests than use a free browser that does not. But I fall in the boat of people who would also rather pay for a television set that only worked as a television set, and not a behavior tracker. Heck, I would happily pay more to keep that functionality as far away from me as possible.

It's FOSS and has a wide range of privacy features baked in including pixel blocking. Adding on ghostery and ublock covers the rest. Seems like the only difference is configuring options on installation.

- Fezzik 9y agoIt does, as I understand it. I personally use Safari on my Mac, as I prefer the interface (with ghostery, and whatever uBlock is on that platform these days) but... I honestly LIKE paying for things I use. I feel more comfortable with paying for a product as opposed to keeping my fingers crossed that something free will 1) continue to exist/remain free and 2) retain the features I like. I pay for email, I pay for a VPN, I pay for everything I can pay for.
