So what do you mean by "it does not work for average user"?
Brave planning to introduce subscription for customizing the browser?
- Thread starter Marko :)
- Start date
By default, the option to install uBo is disabled in Chrome.
I actually don't mind paying a coffee a month to support awesome software. If I get value out of it then I will support it.
If we can pay $100 a year for security tools we can pay a tiny amount for the most important software we use every day.
As long as they keep prices stable and affordable for say like Mullvad, put in a strict amount and don't raise prices then it's acceptable.

Sooner or later, MV2 code will be removed from Chrome permanently and this trick won't work anymore.
For now, the roadmap for disabling MV2 extensions will follow what happened in Chrome, only with different timing.
Then Edge will lose one of its advantages, and Chrome would be reconsidered.
Until this occur, I prefer to enjoy the more efficient uBO on Edge; not sure I will switch to Chrome then, Edge is still a contender regarding reliability.For now, the roadmap for disabling MV2 extensions will follow what happened in Chrome, only with different timing.
They can disallow the disabling of those settings in Brave Free, so that users who want that functionality buy Brave Origin.So what we learned from this topic is basically following:
There will be a subscription...
It will be one-time fee except on Linux...It will be part of Brave...
Brave remains the same, it will be the separate build...
As I said, it seems to me like they wanted to create a subscription, but criticism led them to one-time fee. It also seems like they were to make it part of Brave, then decided to make a separate build for Brave Origin due to backlash.
But again, it doesn't make sense to have normal Brave with the same ability for free and a separate Brave Origin build which would allow you the same for a fee. You can already disable everything through Group Policy, just not through regular settings. Does it mean users would have to pay to have ability to remove everything from settings?

Brave founder clears air on Origin browser amid misinformation surge
Brave CEO Brendan Eich clarifies Brave Origin details after Reddit confusion. The stripped-down browser is free on Linux, one-time purchase elsewhere.

I doubt they'll suddenly remove Group Policy settings.

Misinformation is misinformation.Do we really need Jack, didn't you just set it, us straight? Not every thread and post on this forum is spot on, is it? At times, we are talking around the water cooler, and do post some other interesting and helpful insights along the way, no?
Cheers
A one-time fee is not a subscription.
Anyways, it does not matter.
Brave Origins will be a smash hit. A positive cash flow for Brave. Millions upon millions of people will pay the one time fee.
If it's a small enough fee, I may consider it. I've donated to some of my favorite free apps before, so maybe why not for a browser I really like and use daily?
Hopefully, it will be associated with one account, email address, so I can continue to sync it to my laptops and desktop PC's for one fee.

Ironical only to any person that thinks and believes that people should not have to pay for software or that the software publisher is wrong for generating a profit from their software by whatever means is legal.Ironical
Same here (only need it for my phone when Linux is free)
I am disturbed that there is no option to sync end-to-end encrypted; even Chrome has a sync passphrase option, even if it's not enabled by default. This is one of the reasons I prefer Firefox and Brave.
I feel the same way. Rather than seeing it as extortion, it's a way to support the company through a one-time payment and remove advertisements for services I'm not interested in.
It's open source software. As it was pointed out already, unwanted features can be removed by other means.
