This isn't in competition with Google. It isn't really a "browser". It's an enterprise security app that helps web applications be more secure on end-user devices. The fact that it's implemented on top of Chromium is an "implementation detail".
Security tools is a HUGE market that you can sell to the enterprise. Firefox or Google could do the exact same thing. But they aren't. There's also Talon (another Israeli company that raised a bundle) which does the same thing.
- acdha 5y agoIt is a browser, as clearly explained by their own marketing material. They’re trying to build some nice security policies into it but that’s something Google and Microsoft are also doing or have already done — for example, restricting where you can screenshot or copy and paste is a demand in certain fields but neither of those are huge technical hurdles and would be minor extensions to the existing group policies. I’m aware it’s a large potential market - note that I was asking was why this particular company would be capturing a billion dollar valuation as opposed to their competitors, many of whom are more established and have high-functioning engineering teams.
- invalidname 5y agoPerhaps I wasn't clear. It isn't "sold" like a browser is sold. That's not the "product". Technically, yes it's chromium. Sales/profit/product wise. It isn't.
