CEO Chris Beard revealed in an interview with CNET that Mozilla may start offering "freemium" services in the near future:
There's another side as we start to look at products that we could potentially offer. Some of them start to look like services, exploring the freemium models. There'd be a free level always, but also some premium services offering.
That Yahoo! money has to run out at some point.

I recently revived a 133mhz Thinkpad, from 1996, and it is challenging to even get a browser to run on it--well, aside from what I had installed on it already (including IE, since that was baked in at the OS level...) Netscape Navigator did OK for many sites, but once it looks like its for a mobile and makes those giant background images and stuff that slides around, it can't handle it at all.
It's like the more mobile something is, the more poorly it peforms due to all of those javascripts that run trying to figure out how to best monetize the visitor. Most scripts just hang on it.
No script doesnt work on it because there is no browser that runs on it that can also run no script; most java scripts don't run either but whatever manages to run seems to hang a lot.
It used to be that a mobile view of a website was low bandwidth; now it takes more just based on the captures... constant refreshes, stuff set to do not cache... etc. oh and trying to load in 64MB of RAM--a whole lot for windows 98.
