i seem to find that most people use their browsers to connect to google. many people use google as a web interface. almost everyone in english speaking countries use either microsoft edge/ie to connect to bing or use chrome to go to google or somewhere in between, although chrome has close to 60% of global browser marketshare. don't get me wrong, chrome is a great browser, but i argue that the integration with search & ancilliary services are why it is gaining share.
so onbvious consolidation risk aside, and allowing one org to control how the world receives info (using pagerank/clone pf pagerank) a browser is a wrapper through which we receive info and typically that is through a search portal.
i think brave is awesome and totally great. great product. great team. good vision. however, i think it is unlikely to 10x. it cant 10x my integration with search/info gathering(browsers browse literally synonym of search) and it likely cant 10x my(generic me) experience if i use adblock/ublock.
browsers help you browse. search engines help you find. you can't browse if you don't know where to look. also, there are only ~3 browser engines that have serios market share. most browsers render the web the same way because of standards so they are just varying degrees of ui, convenience/ux and exterior service integration.
does this make sense? that is how i have been thinking about it.
