I understand the strong incentives for browser makers to try to monetize, but still it’s annoying. We don’t want pocket, we don’t want flock, we don’t want financing. Just let us use the web.
- PaulHoule 5y ago+1 for "Pocket is thoroughly Pizzled" although I guess that's a -1 for Pocket itself.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoMS doesn't need to monetise though. Especially a browser they only half wrote. Their tie-ins with O365 and Bing should be enough to finance it. They have no excuse for some monetisation scheme as sleazy as this. Mozilla is a different story. They don't sit on billions in the bank nor have other products that are basically monopolies just raking it in. They're legitimately strapped for cash. But still they don't stoop this low. PS: I'm pretty outspoken against these schemes because I seen how they take advantage of those who are bad with money and draw them into a debt spiral.
