Probably "Donationware" would be a better description, though donations
appear to be optional.
I found this FAQ to be very odd:
"Why am I not able to change the homepage?
In the current, and all previous, versions the most popular page determines
the homepage. The homepage is set this way because it is the first page that
the user sees, therefore it is something that the user would like to look
at. By setting the most popular web page, based on the previous views in the
history, 404Browser can save time that would be used to navigate to the
website. This also prevents spyware and malicious web pages from changing
the current web page to what the user does not want. However, users have
asked to change the homepage manually upon sufficient demand this feature
may be included in version 2005R2."
Not too sure that I would want a browser that won't let me pick my own
homepage.
