I guess it is too much to ask that such a great browser addition be free. After a while you get huge banner adds and I am not willing to pay the $2.99 per month to get rid of them. Too bad. Uninstall.

Protopage is an awesome way to stay in touch with what you want and need. Love it! If they offer a paid version without ADs, I would consider.
