      They’ve undoubtedly been preparing for this day in some capacity. If they didn’t and collapse then yes they chose a stupid business model. But until that happens I think this is a premature statement.

          Love the browser, hate the corpos desperately trying to fuck it up because that’s the cool thing to do to your software now days.
