You don't need to pay for it if you don't mind an innocuous ad.

Most browser projects are Mozilla based. THose that aren't either IE or
Moz have issues with alot of sites.

But I should add that the program has been recommended in this group
for a long time, regardless of the fact that it's adware. Personally,
I refuse to try it because of the ad(s). YMMV.

version, so that one could asses its' merits regarding the money
without the ad interface.

If you select Google Ads, the ad is a thin two line bar right across

Yet people are quite happy to mention:

AVG 6
Kerio Personal Firewall

without being lambasted..both of which are actually CRIPPLEWARE and

crippleware.
 
What's crippled about AVG6?

From their site...

Basic user Interface only
Disabled Advanced Scheduling of Tests

Now compare that to stuff such as Mozilla where you get full
functionality.

No, because adware is NOT freeware. Period. What the problem with
that? It's JMHO. 80)>

crippleware.
