Maybe if people didn't feel like browsers and email and search were human rights that should be given to them freely, moral hazards be damned, the internet wouldn't be the clusterfuck that it is now?

There are millions of people in the world who buy unsubsidized Android phones for less than $60 a year in developing countries.

Even in the US, the median cost of an Android phone is less than $300 and then you expect them to pay $200 for a browser?

Besides, it’s never just a one time purchase. Is that one time purchase going to get you security updates and if so, for how long?
