paid => ads => free. How is a 'free browser' supposed to pay its developers?

  They licensed the browser for devices like set-top boxes and similar devices. There was also money coming from Google (for using it as a default search engine). I guess they had also some business model built around Opera Mini and relations with mobile providers.

    Did you say that desktop should be subsidized by non-desktop browsers?

      I didn't say it should, I just summarized what Opera did.
