i think i stumbled once with this question but never "got it", lol, but yeah, some are curious, i've read (besides ...from everything; or the cow its moving right along.. blah blah blah)
some ideas around the web suggesting they they may make profit from google searches and mobile phones's browser sales.

what ever works its nice, as long as this awesome browser continuous to be free. Its nothing but who ever i can, i suggest them to install this awesome browser and its great search keywords.
