The last browser that tried to charge for you to use was omni web in the early two thousands. The only way to win, and i think it's read hoffman who popularized the following statement, is to be contrarian and right. And there's nothing more contrario against a free product than to charge s as much as seems reasonable, but then to back it up with the goods that actually make it worth while.

Please take the 2019 Acquired Survey. It takes 5-10 minutes, helps us immensely, and you may win a pair of new AirPods or a free 1-year subscription to the LP show! http://acquired.fm/survey

We wrap up Season 4 with a very special (and accidental!) episode, a conversation with the CEO of Superhuman, the red hot email productivity app which just announced their $33m Series B led by Andreessen Horowitz. While originally intended as an LP episode, we felt Superhuman would provide the perfect bookend to our “modern enterprise productivity trilogy” following our Zoom and Slack episodes. We hope you enjoy the conversation with Rahul as much as we did, and we’ll see you later this summer for Season 5!
