I came here to quote the same sentence and ... yeah, they shouldn't be doing any of this stuff. It's an open source web browser. I type a URL into the URL bar, you send the domain name to my DNS server, then send the rest of the URL to whatever that resolves to, and then you render the content. At no point in this exchange is any oral communication or "valuable consideration" required.
