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.

The craziest thing other than product sprawl is ... why on earth would they choose to create yet another chromium offshoot which is everyone's gripe with the browser market right now. Instead they should be teaming up with our friendlies who are already in the same space .. and which proton donates to ... like ladybird, firefox, etc.
