The comparison of one time vs subscription wouldn't be $15 vs $15 but more like $500 vs $15.
In what world is a browser worth $500? For comparison, a complete operating system (eg. windows) has cost around $200, and this was applicable even in windows 98 days, before microsoft was trying to monetize it using ads/telemetry.
Very curious why YC backed this and what market share they were trying to capture.

Probably more like $5000. Have you considered how insanely complicated browsers are? It’s a miracle they’re free.
The negativity in this thread is extremely distasteful. :/ Just want to say, I think what can differentiate this from other browsers + extensions will come down to how well-integrated all of it is. Tab fatigue for work browsers is real and if this helps solve that, then it's worth it. From what I see on your landing page, the UX / workflow looks extremely attractive. Couple of things, a) I do think the $15 per month…
We're still workshopping the pricing model, but do give the free trial a go and let us know what you think!
There's the standard web inspector at the moment. What would you like to see for dev tools?

Sorry to hear that, in terms of the trial we wouldn’t take your payment details until your trial runs out. In terms of your email we don’t use it for marketing or spam, it is more for being able to record your feedbacks you send us in app. But as soon as you want them delted you can request it and we quickly delete everything for u
No ofense, but I wish you all luck with this model. It is not meant for us who work on IT, we have to work with several browsers. This is more for the end consumer like.
I don't mind paying for software, but for $15 I'd expect Browser + full blown google internet search alternative + privacy.
Cool concept, I wonder removing the price from the website will help with conversion (a la superhuman). A lot of people are probably not even trying it because they haven't see the value of the product yet.
It's so early that it has support for effectively a single version of a single operating system (it isn't even an OS X web browser, it's a macOS browser), it doesn't have ad blocking or extensions, it doesn't look like it fits the HIG of any operating system, let alone the one it was apparently purpose-built for, it really drastically needs a designer, and to top it off it's got a subscription model in a genre of software that has never worked well at even a one-time price.
There has never been an iteration of HN that would have given this product at this stage of its development anything but a disaster of a thread. I'm not going to insult the product (I doubt I'd say anything that someone else hadn't already said), but I can't see how anything productive or useful would have or could have possibly came about from this thread.
Watched the video and the product looks great! I'll definitely give it a spin and congrats to everyone @ SigmaOS for a great launch.

This makes me feel rickrolled. I clicked and only see a Mac version download link. The title should mention the platform if it's single-platform. In fact I even have a Mac but it's High Sierra and I'm not updating to Big Sur with all the questionable changes just to try a new browser.
Oh, sorry about that! Hopefully you give it a try when you update eventually :)
May I, however, ask if there is a serious reason to require Big Sur instead of supporting Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra also? I understand you probably don't want to waste resources on actually supporting them but perhaps you could just build against them and let users use it on their own risk?
