Will similar "features" appear also in Notepad, Calculator, Character Map, etc.? Because, technically, you didn't pay for them either, they are just free application that got installed with Windows.
Okay, maybe it is not as bad as I make it sound. Perhaps it would be nice if anytime you display a unicode character in Character Map, it offered you an option to buy a t-shirt with this character printed...
And the default Chromium keyboard shortcut for searching selected text with your default search engine has been hardcoded to open Bing.
And the new tab page searchbar takes an extra step to have it not search Bing when you have configured a different default search engine.
And recently they added a neat search button in browser console events. Unfortunately it only does Bing, and news articles about Amazon worker strikes are not helpful when debugging web worker errors....
There's a lot of good stuff happening with this browser, but I'm definitely getting close to my breaking point.
It's also funny how for example they still manage to get basic things wrong, like a smooth and instantaneous gui, good design (made to improve user experience, rather than cross-selling), etc.
I still remember they had to kill cortana because the implementation was universally hated by people.
If some current/former Mozilla devs fork Firefox and start a new paid browser, I would gladly give money to them. ($5 per month subscription would probably be the sweet spot for such a paid browser program.)
