As far as we have seen, any free software that is financed by ads or donations turns into trash
plenty of examples, like firefox, or any google app
Reminder: google is an advertisement company. If you disagree count to 3 and reconsider again.
The 'free' service model is paid by selling your info to everyone, changing the conditions of the service at point blank, or basically shoving the features left and right
Examples: firefox and pocket, or google reader and plus, youtube and comments....
This business model rottens in 2-3 years, and the next example will be windows 10
The question, or simply a realization is that paying for a license would protect the user and the developer. User would have rights, and the dev would have an steady income, a model that is a throwback to a world not financed by advertisement, basically the opposite of the google 'free' world
Would you pay for browser? Steady updates, adblocking updated everyday, no change of terms or unwanted features, no stupid rewrites, just what.you.paid.for?
