- swsieber 10y agoNope - we thought that wasn't quite needed since they were being set up as a public service, not a monetization platform. We need a project like the Linux kernel, except for a good browser.

- swsieber 10y agoI don't consider this a good rebuttal - Firefox has done stuff like pocket (not monetary but invasive) and search engine deals (monetary). Though it is pretty close.

- drdre2001 10y agoDon't we have a couple of "Linux" like browsers already? Like Konqueror? Or are those not good enough?
- swsieber 10y agoNope - they aren't good enough. It's not easy to install. What I would love in a browser: * An organization set up to oversee it that does not need to care about money (pipe dream part here). * Easy to install. * Standards compliant. * Open source. All in all, Firefox is the closest (imo). What rubs me wrong about chrome is that originally it was to be monetized - at least I don't remember such.
