  Is there any reason to think this will actually gain traction with a significant portion of the population? This seems like the kind of thing HN gushes over but the general population couldn't care less about.

    Sure, that part of Brave is focused on tech people. But all these trends start with tech people - then we recommend it and install it for our friends and family. Also, that's just part of the Brave strategy. It's going to block a lot more ads than Chrome by default. That has the potential for general appeal, not just for tech people.

    Idk, I tweeted Eich until he responded that a search engine is more important than a browser; but Brave is still great. Eich ran Mozilla, guy is smart. Google won because it was the best. I can see Brave being the best. Search is being encroached on, adverts are being killed Brave could win for simplicity and privacy which people are valuing more & more...I hope.

  'when' is a pretty strong statement for something so unlikely.
