It costs $69.99 a year. - You could make: Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A web browser. - You could not: Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
