I agree, OpenAI is absolutely the wrong company to take over Chrome. I was thinking maybe Cloudflare might be a decent steward of the project/product.

- kurtoid 2y agoOh no - I could see them do something WEI combined with Turnstile
- wmf 2y agoCloudflare spends ~$400M/year on R&D while Chrome may be spending almost that much alone. Whoever buys Chrome needs to earn >$1B in revenue from it either directly or through some sort of synergy.
- ggm 2y agoWhy does acquisition of chrome demand $1b in revenue as an outcome? Why does chrome demand $400m in input spend ongoing, if it no longer has to deliver Google specific changes? What's braves spend?
- bitpush 2y agoBrave takes open source chromium code, which is majority funded by Google, and adds things on top of it. People underestimate how expensive it is to build a browser. There's a reason why we have only 3 major engines. Firefox (struggling), Chromium (Google backed) and Safari (Apple backed)
- ringeryless 2y agoWe have made the web far too complicated, and attempted to replicate a world of other programming paradigms into what was intended to be a remote folder browsing API
- badlucklottery 2y ago> Why does chrome demand $400m in input spend ongoing, if it no longer has to deliver Google specific changes? I don't know if it needs $400m but I wouldn't be surprised if it's $20m+ just to keep the browser secure. Google paid out $12m last year in bug bounties and I assume they spend that much or more for in-house security researchers/developers (headcount is expensive) and periodic independent audits of the codebase.
