Kagi’s browser is based on WebKit, but currently macOS only and non-opensource. I’m perfectly willing to pay for a browser but not sure if closed source is viable no matter how much you trust the company today.

The evidence points in the exact opposite direction.

Open source implies free. And free means getting fucked with ads. I trust a product I pay for versus one reliant on getting bailed out by Google.

Same. I mean i have already paid for opera once in life (20 years ago?) I don't have a problem to do it again.
