... I might pay for the feature that eliminates or hides all AI features, including on the websites I visit.
If I'm paying for a browser then it's going to be more customizable, and easier to customize, than Firefox. Charging for a locked-down browser that has AI - and therefore additional spying - baked in? No thanks!
These days, it seems that everybody and his dog is jumping on perpetual-revenue SaaS offerings. I consider those offerings to be burnt. This move by Opera is clearly just an 'excusortunity' to turn browsers into rentware. Fuck them.
