This question just came to me while I was buying a subway pass. It’s priced very well, provides a very good service, doesn’t suffer from enshittification, and its price increases very rarely.
What are some other services which people don’t mind subscribing to?
Even though it would be one way to make Mozilla self-sustainable, it would open a pandora box of different problems. Would free-versions continue receiving security updates? Would access to some websites be locked behind the premium version? It’s a dangerous idea.
By “free browsers” I didn’t mean “free versions”. I’m thinking more along the lines of Pale Moon or Konqueror (in it’s early days), third-party FOSS browsers with limited features.
