I was pretty sold on the concept and features of this browser until I started thinking, "hm... if this is streaming, they're gonna have to charge a monthly rate to use this."

So I filled out the questionnaire to request access (to find out the pricing) and the _cheapest_ option to the "how much would you think about paying" was $10/month.

I would expect this could find a place in the workplace where a company subsidizes employee use for workplace browser use but... I don't see this gaining any traction from the average consumer.

I don't think I'd pay more than a couple bucks a month (at most) for a web browser when my current one (and literally any alternative) already works great -- and even if they didn't, there's also tons of free plugins for managing tabs/sessions/etc AND already tons of general-purpose streaming services (like Shadow) that don't just limit you to a browser... at a seemingly lower price.

FWIW, I typically have 20+ windows open at a time (to context-switch between projects), each with 30+ tabs (each loosely mapped to a to-do item). I'm also not on a Mac, so maybe I'm just not the target market.
