Hi Richard, This is neat work. Regarding the extension requirement, you state that you believe that it's impossible to compete without the convenience of navbar search, aka against Google/Chrome. You may be right, but this thread should demonstrate how highly polarizing that choice is for your users. Two notes: * Your competition space is much bigger than just Google. As a privacy browser, you compete against DDG. They actively remove friction. Right now they are a better product. There are more competitors still. * If your focus is on general search your product isn't as good as Google right now. It sounds like there are some neat ideas here with summarization and "apps" targeted towards niches like developers, but it's simply not a drop in replacement people are going to use as their daily driver. It's OK to moon-shot and becoming the next big general search engine certainly qualifies. If I were on your board, I'd tell you to compete against products, not the market positions. I'd tell you not to alienate potential users. Don't draw a box around yourself and say "I want to break the Google monopoly", innovate and you won't have to. Or focus on your niche, land it and expand.
