        Oddly, it’s working for me. When you tap the address bar, do you see https :// google . com or https :// www . google . com?

        Thanks, Michael – I can’t really say about Crystal: one of the reasons we created Better was so it could be free/open…

        why “unethical” and not “irresponsible”?

        Because we feel it is just that – unethical. And it contravenes the Ethical Design Manifesto: https://ind.ie/ethical-design

        My bad. re: VC $, agreed. Intrigued by their model as we need $ for up-front legal work we can't do. Holding us up/catch22.
