You're actually making the opposite point that you intended: the existing AI-browsers made by The Browser Company/Perplexity had their first mover advantage, but they have little inherent lock-in and are now less likely to retain users since a more notable competitor now exists.

if I was Google I'd close up Chromium at this point

and that would kill these AI company browsers instantly

Then all the money would go to Ladybird.

can't wait for Servo being mainstreamed!

Good luck with that.

They could make chromium closed source starting from the next patch version while the source of old versions are still available. Currently there is only one company that is capable of maintaining chromium's entire codebase, and that company is called Google.

That shouldn't be downvoted. Their pivot from model -> product company is one to watch with admiration and dread in equal measure.

It's being downvoted due to the nonconstructive shitpost tone.

I thought personal attacks were not allowed in here.

But I think you'll get a free pass.

Classifying a comment tone as nonconstructive and/or a shitpost is not an attack, let alone a personal one.

Funny, I also think many of your comments here are shitposts, so I guess we're even.

I'll drop it here, but you should live up to the standards you promote.
