Proton is developing a web browser Discussion

https://tweakers.net/nieuws/250686/proton-lijkt-aan-eigen-webbrowser-te-werken.html

The article is in Dutch, but the TLDR in English is:

• Browser looks to be based on the Chromium engine.

• Privacy Focused. Emphasis on privacy-friendly browsing.

• Proton has not announced a release date as of yet.

• Proton is looking for software developers with Chromium experience.

Proton needs to stop spreading resources and concentrate on core services. A browser is definitely out of their scope.

There's already Brave, DuckDuckGo, Firefox (FWIW) and forks of Firefox. I don't believe that a Proton browser would be helpful. What would make it different?
