Brave Launches Paid, "Minimalist" Brave Origin Browser

I don’t understand why people are mad at this? Like the common sentiment on this forum is “if something is free, you are the product”. Now a paid privacy friendly browser without bloat is there, and people still complain because it used to have bloat. Would it have been better if they just created a new browser under a new name and made it 40 euro? I’ve been saying for years, if a paid browser comes out and it’s privacy friendly, I’ll gladly pay. With the discount it’s 40 euro for lifetime.. that’s nothing honestly..
