  "textContent": "Those browsers are free, but how many of them are sitting at 117 million known active users while trying to support a full browser ecosystem at Brave’s scale?\n\nYou might prefer that it relies on donations like Tor, or is subsidized like Mullvad, or even worse, end up in a situation like Firefox depending on Google, but what Brave has done has clearly worked.\n\nRunning privacy tools for a niche community, where one person is relying on tips or donations, is one thing. Maintaining a browser, search engine, ad block engine, security updates, and everything else at a production grade, mainstream scale standard to support a nine figure user base is completely different.\n\nYou can dislike Brave Origin being paid, and that’s fair. Personally, I think 60 is a bit too much. But Brave also does not have the the same sustainability problems as much smaller projects.\n\nAlso keep in mind there’s nothing wrong with regular brave. Once you configure it, you’ll forget that those other features are even there. They are not a problem, whatsoever. I feel like this browser is only for purest, and those who want to make somewhat of what is essentially a donation.",
