Why is this article (almost completely) written like there are multiple brothers at this point? One has been dead for 4 and a half years.

He supposedly had 12 proberties in NYC alone. How that could be worth less than $10M, not including supposedly his properties in TX, OH, and others, I don't get. Plus whatever he's squirrelled away, probably offshore.

In 2015 it was also fast enough to do pretty decent big screen games rendered locally, too. I mean, like other person pointed out, its internals were powerful enough to have been (heavily) used for the Switch which hundreds of millions of people are still having fun with.

That optional feature might be banned, it likely would be easily disabled (I.e. not disablable) by corporate policy.

Having enough people to opt into it to be profitable would make it worth it. You may be underestimating the # of people who wouldn't care if it was packaged well.

They ship the browser, which on at least many OSes has the certificate store. And Android. They can ship whatever they want.

People fall for all kinds of shit for reasonableish-soubdubg security reasons. Lots of people would have said they didn't believe people would go for this either.

And that leaves them towards the bottom, since that's pretty much it.

Next step would be rewrapping the encrypted data (which several existing proxies already support) as a "security enhancement".
