I couldn't agree more; I think that spending money on something that works for you is a great idea. In fact, I think that going with any application which doesn't really work for you (open source, closed, licensed or free) is insane and you should see a doctor.

Personally I have never found anything in a web browser that wasn't at least extendable (usually for free) in another (viz. most) if not built in. In fact, the worst cases are those which bundle everything I want and megs or even gigs more. But with any software you should simply use what's right for you.

As I said above however, I think that paying for a web browser is mad. I don't think you are mad for buying something that suits your needs so well (as it obviously does), but I still can't imagine what the Omni Group were thinking when they made the decision to continue to license a web browser. During the long standing browser war there has been a huge change of opinion in the sector and almost every pay-for browser has been wiped out. I can't imagine any one of these browsers suits the needs of enough people to make it financially worth while selling it, so why not save cost and give it away in order to encourage good will and traffic? It's just an opinion.

That's what lead to the question as to how the free browser company Flock inc. are getting any money. I think it's time to get back on track now, so sorry everyone for spinning this thread way off course. That's entirely my fault and I apologise. Still, it's always good to see someone truly passionate about something and not willing to hide it; that's rare in todays world.
