Any free alternative?
The top comment from the last time this was submitted pointed to an open source (AGPLv3) implementation https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29340887 > but I don't know how they compare feature-wise

> People try to make money out of anything. So...software developers who mimic the real world. If I walk by a fruit stand, a grocery store, or a booth at a fair selling homemade crafts; I don't expect anything to be free. It is the exception when they are handing out free samples. In the software world, too many expect everything in the store to be free (as in beer). Each software product represents real effort on so…
If I walk by a stand, it cost them something to give me their homemade crafts for free(they have less to give away) With software development the only thing lost with giving it away for free is the opportunity cost that someone might have paid for it. So I don't think physical products and software can be compared like that
The question is that it seems to emulate many things, but what doesn't it emulate well? It looks like it's built off chromium, so I'm assuming it wouldn't be able to show an issue that only appears in safari or maybe Mozilla? Perhaps this is in the docs. edit: It's in the FAQ at the bottom. Still, beyond the actual browser engine, are there other known limitations?
This feels like a lay-up, but here you go :) https://polypane.app/docs/emulation/#emulation-or-simulation Polypane doesn't simulate the specific rendering engine of other browsers, it just pretends to be another browser (which is what emulation is) so you can test that the code you wrote for those browsers (for example, a polyfill) responds well. You'll still need to test in those real browsers to check against their…

I like your pricing model.
You have to sign up, and then this welcomes me: The password has to have: - At least one lowercase letter - At least one number - At least one uppercase letter - At least 8 characters I do not like it when websites (or applications, w/e) do this. I am somewhat OK with "at least 8 characters long" and I even understand its significance (from a security perspective) but not the rest.

zero relevance to the pricing.
Seems quite similar to https://sizzy.co/
True! I’d love to hear from someone who tried out both and settled on one.
I don't understand the many comments here complaining that the browser has a subscription. Finally! I want more paid browsers, not less. I want to get back to a world where we paid for products with money, instead of being datamined and have ads pushed down my throat. People here, out of all places, should be aware of what it means when a product is free.
I guess that when people usually talk about paid browsers, they talk about separate web engines not chromium forks. If this will help with the battle against Google's dominance.
