Polypane Open-Source Alternative
That would leave people stuck on an unmaintained version of Chromium and I don’t wanna be responsible for that. Neither do I want to hold back features just so I can put them in ‘the next release’.
I get the hesitation and I get that puts it out of reach for some (which is why I have those discounts) but if you are employed as a dev, getting it expensed is often easy (and if not I have resources to help with that, too)

Polypane Open-Source Alternative
Hey, Polypane creator here 👋 I charge for Polypane so I get to work on it full time and do things like continuously build new features and keep the rendering engine up to date. One thing to keep in mind is you should check the version of Chromium these tools are running. Often they're very outdated, bringing potential security issues while also missing features from recent chromium releases.
If pricing is an issue, Polypane is free for students, discounted for educational and charitable institutions and we also offer purchase power parity: https://polypane.app/special-offers/
