That's because browsers should be free. They are infrastructure, just like bridges. And nobody wants a bridge troll sitting on the single bridge crossing the internet river, demanding money from everyone.
- ferngodfather 15d agoI mean, bridge tolls are absolutely a thing.
- edoceo 15d agoMy area has roads w/o bridges that have a toll.
- rightnutwingjob 15d agoIf things keep going as they are, my area will soon have a bridge, several bridges, and no roads. But it will still have tolls.
- shric 15d agoBridges are not free
- pibaker 15d agoYou pay for bridges with tax. Tax funded browser sounds good in theory, but I don't trust the people managing my tax money to run a tech project like Firefox. Most likely it gets handed to the lowest private sector bidder, with the stipulation that any privacy preserving — sorry, I meant criminal hiding — features be removed.
