Interesting that it’s paying to remove features. Seems reasonable considering it’s paying to get an officially supported build, and if you’d rather not there’s probably a fork doing the same out there.

Edit: That it’s free (as in WinRAR?) on Linux is interesting; what would be the motive for doing that?

It costs a lot of money to publish software on Windows. You have to pay Microsoft a ransom to sign your application or otherwise users get giant scary warnings about running unknown software.
It costs $200 to get a certificate from Microsoft to sign as many software as you want. Brave has more than $100M/yr revenue.

Please put more efforts in your anti-Microsoft rhetoric.
