What is stopping super duper browser guy from launching his own browser with his own company, reaping all the rewards himself? I really don’t understand your attitude at all.
- trog 4y agoWhy not just start a company competing with Apple, Microsoft and Google, you're saying?
- ethbr0 4y agoA few hundred million dollars and an unrelated side business that continually spits out cash.
- Barrin92 4y agoDid you notice the part where Sergey Brin was intimated by Steve Jobs in the email threatening him with war if he starts a browser? Probably that part.
- avidiax 4y agoAre there any independent browser companies? What's the business model? Nobody will pay for a browser. If you work in this area, you need a well funded patron that sees a browser as strategic. A browser is strategic, hence Steve Jobs getting pissed. Starting your own company also requires specialist and generalist skills that a browser engineer doesn't have, and exposes him to risk that won't be worth it to a rock star developer.
