- afavour 5y ago…and who controls the mobile web browsers?
- throwawaycities 5y agoWeb3 enabled browsers like metamask, coinbase wallet, trust wallet, brave. Safari and chrome mobile browsers are not compatible with web3 or dapps.
- afavour 5y agoSo we’re back to square one: they’re not usable on mobile devices almost everyone uses.
- throwawaycities 5y agoUm…all the web3 mobile browsers I listed are…mobile browsers. So yes the all work on mobile devices that everyone uses.
- verdverm 5y agoBut not browsers many people use, you have to get them to install and use another browser before the app is even accessible at the most basic level
- throwawaycities 5y agoThe goal posts went from a point about big tech controlling the web3 browsers (which they don’t), to web3 browsers not being on mobile (they are), to not many people using them… I take it your definition of “not many people” to mean less than the number of users that use safari or chrome, so you win. But the clever thing about web3 browsers is that they are crypto wallets so odds are if you own crypto, then you have have downloaded and use a web3 browser. Browsers like Brave and MetaMask have 10’s of millions of active users, it’s not exactly nothing for web browsers that didn’t exist a year ago.
- verdverm 5y agoBrave is chromium, it may have wallet functionality, but they are not "new" or web3 at the core. Metamask is a browser extension, not a browser. I think you lost credibility by being to clever at this point
- afavour 5y agoAnd they’re installed via app stores controlled by Google and Apple, no?
