What happened is adverse selection due to a stubbornly low valuation that doesn't even try to keep up, in the midst of a growing number of alternatives, worsened by a formal and th…

I pay for my mail client (MailMate). I pay for my search(FoxTrot Search). I pay for my spam filter (Spamsieve). I pay for my notetaking/archival (Eagle Filer). I pay for my network…

Yeah advertising is a failure mode of what I said. But if Firefox ever decided to make a lot of money by selling good browsers at a high price to paying users, well I think the res…
