Can a web browser actually just be a web browser nowadays? Seriously, is there really not a market for such a thing?

  fairly sure this is just a user agent gating. There's nothing about a video call that cannot be done through chrome obviously.

    Seems likely, given this faq: >Do I need the Brave browser to use Brave Talk? >Yes and no. To start a call, you’ll need to be on the Brave browser. However, people you invite to a call can join from any browser. They just need the call link. So, most of it already functions on other browsers...they are gating the "start a call" bit. The faq has some details on some sort of encryption relay they have 8x8 run for them, so maybe there's some key management stuff in the brave browser?

  Web browser has become the light client of the world, what Java Applet were visioned in late 90s.

  Nothing stops you from using Brave as just a web browser (whatever that means! Are Google Apps 'just a browser', or an app with a browser client?).

  Brave's whole "thing" seems to be being a one-stop Google replacement for everything you could do online, but just having to trust them instead of Google. Through that lens, I can see why they're constantly adding more "route your data through us instead" already-features instead of focusing on making a good, standalone web browser.

  If by "market" you mean "money to pay for it", I think possibly not.
