Well, the browser market is, simply put, in a state of complete fucked up-ness for the past two? IE6 was released in 2001, so yes, two decades. there was a brief period of huh, thigh might finally be okay when Firefox launched, and when MS finally - literally - buried IE in 2010, but that did not last long. That moment was never a stable equilibrium. Too few participants in the market. Too much money in it indirectly, so Google gives it away for free. This of course absolutely makes it impossible for a real market to emerge where someone pays for the browser tech itself directly.
