Any Microsoft OS bundled Browser after you paid for the OS example, Explorer and Edge
Google Chrome is paid for indirectly from Googles advertising connections
Safari, bundled with Mac OS, is not free, if you purchased the PC/OS
Over the years they have been popular browsers used by many. And, even if not used, were still paid for.
Here is the
developer response made in another post which I quote below.

The Amazon button gives you quick access to the amazon website and supports our development efforts. We are doing the same thing for eBay as well. Both eBay and amazon are our sponsors. The software is free and we don't really show any annoying ads. We do rely on the referring commission to keep ends meet here.
We also automatically recommend the Facebook button and the weather button when the user visits related sites. But that has nothing to do with money. It is solely for the purpose of feature recommendation. If we don't recommend these features, most users won't even know the features exist at all. People would think we are just the same as Chrome but for these hidden features. One of the problem with Chrome is that they make a lot of features available through hidden features. But the reality is that only less than 1% of people will be able to find those features by doing their research online. We don't want to make the same mistakes. We make a useful feature and recommend it to people who will mostly likely need it.
However, we never force anything on people. All the feature recommendations happen only once. If you are not interested in it, just revert it. With Slimjet, you always have options.
Thanks for your understanding.
It is not exactly true that it never comes back. But, it only comes back with major upgrades or fresh installations after it has been reset and the browser doesn't realize it has already been done once.
