      Paying isn’t a bad idea if you want to do that.

      Google creeping on your privacy and your right to view HTML the way you choose to is gross and violating.

      These two ideologies don’t have much overlap, and definitely can coexist separately.

        Y’all have a strangely strong emotional reaction to me just informing you that paying for the product works well as well.

        Sometimes you pay for a product and it’s not what you expected or it sucks.
