3 dollars? It really annoys you and you can't be bothered to spend 3 dollars?

For a web browser? You really want to pay 3 dollars for a web browser?

Also - Are you really surprised that people balk at paying for things that were once free? Really????

Furthermore, Dolphin has a "Private Mode" and it does not work at all. It's a lie. They are clearly trying to steer you towards their Zero browser. I don't give 3 dollars to companies who try to play me like that.

Nope. No, no way. Uh-uh. Forget it. For now, I just use Brave for private browsing and Dolphin for public browsing.

I actually want an open source one and I'm thinking about building it myself too. Looks like Brave is open source AND it's built with Swift which is exactly what I was going to do. I can just take that and rip out all the crap and add what I want.
