    The arrogance in this statement, lol. :)

    I mean sure, I get it, but what I dont get is why a company would have paid engineers working on a product and give it away for free if that's their only income stream? How will they pay their engineers? Pay for office space? Make a profit?

    It's funny that people expect free stuff but complain when their data is being sold to ad agencies. :)

    Like, shit, why can't I sit here on my throne and have companies give me free stuff and maybe I will decide to use it from the kindness of my heart. :)

    Firefox is open-source, and shares the same business model as Vivaldi.

    If Google ever becomes certain that their monopoly state is in no danger of being broken by legislature, they stop financing Firefox, and Mozilla immediately dies to bankruptcy.

    I think your example serves the other guy's point...
