no one is ever going to dethrone chrome unless they start selling hardware filled with their crapware at a loss solely to suck ppl into the ecosystem and/or start giving away laptops as fast as possible for the same reasons

no one is ever going to compete with firefox or brave on UI alone, because the ppl that have the wherewithal to move away from the edge and chrome apps that are thrust upon them with every hardware purchase, care more about if your shit is secure and privacy respecting than if your 'tabs are on the left' :|
> he thinks browsers are due for a reinvention — and why he thinks a startup is the best place to do it
ah yes, a loss-leading category of software is best done at cash-strapped startups... wonder where the revenue will come from
