Piracy and meshed networks are going to be an inevitable future. We fought for and lost net neutrality which hasn’t shown face yet but with subscription browsers it’s time is nigh.

$19.90/month for a browser seems steep, especially when most AI features are available elsewhere for free or built into existing tools. Feels like they’re trying to bundle convenience with exclusivity, but I wonder how many people will actually pay for it long-term.

So how much will she pay me for using her browser?

Otherwise known as $240 a year. For a browser? When there's so many ways to access AI for free?
