A browser uncontrolled by big tech without the endless privacy violations is needed now more than ever. Proton is a perfect candidate to provide a browser that can address the endless tracking and ad issues properly. Not to mention the opportunity to integrate their other services into it.
Firefox is no longer trustworthy with their new terms and overall shift against privacy. There's little else left for options.

Regarding what’s currently happening with firefox and what proton has to offer, we have proton write, drive, pass, mail I think it’d be a really good time to have a proton browser right now. No chromium no gecko, proper proton browser.

Now Mozilla has updated it's data T&C for Firefox, the world needs a secure web browser that doesn't use our data against us.

It would be nice to have as well, integrate of things, also don't use chromium as possible.

Proton Ecosystem...

It would be nice if the have there own browser if you wanna be a google alternative than no own browser = no google alternative

I would love to see a partnership with Brave, though with where they are going and how Proton does things idk if that will happen. But a Proton browser... that would be sick!!!

Additionally, looking at other's comments on this being unnecessary; It might be for you, but me personally I have a very small circle of groups that I trust, with proton being the largest. since Proton has already made a suite of services that combat nonprivate ones like Google and Microsoft. Many people are also forgetting OP's point that companies like Google are buying out all the other browsers, and the simple fact that Firefox is dying and many browsers we love, like Brave, are chromium based.

Would absolutely use a Proton browser with a similar UI and such. would be a game changer, and Proton could realistically be a private challenger to giants like google or microsoft.

Kagi have shown that with a small paying user base they have built quality, privacy-focussed apps - search, browser, etc. They also hint at an email service. Firefox seems to be beyond saving. With Proton's resources the Orion browser could easily be brought to v1.0 status and Windows (it's currently MacOs only). Even if a fork.

with Mozilla Firefox at risk, from an ongoing legal case which might prohibit Google to majorly fund them anymore, to them doing more questionable privacy things with "privacy preserving ad measurements" in search of relevancy and funding? the world is in need of an alternative.

Whether it Proton's own Browser creation, a collaboration with Mozilla Firefox (to get them independent or fork it if allowed, or GrapheneOS (Vanadium) or something else - I'd switch to a Proton browser and be willing to pay a monthly/annual fee for it.

There doesn't need to be a Proton Browser. Proton already has too many apps if anything. There are plenty of good, FOSS, privacy-conscious Browsers out there. Librewolf, Firefox with privacy settings turned on, Firefox + Arkenwolf, Mullvad, Brave, Cromite, Mull, are all good.

I would also like to see a Proton browser.

Would love to see Kagi brought into the Proton ecosystem. Similar missions, similar high standards to support the user through their funding. Kagi is working on their Orion Browser, pretty good so far. Imagine all the Proton services working natively from their own browser 😭🤤

I think Brave has a great privacy-focused browser, so no need for Proton to spend resources on this.

Totally in line with Drew. Mozilla seems to be going down the drain, with "AI" and "privacy preserving" ads...
Please consider picking up Firefox from Mozilla - without the political baggage that Brave has.

With Firefox eating **** lately, I'm reluctantly looking to Proton to uphold the ideals that Mozilla should be, by picking up Firefox and maintaining it properly. I'm not interested in yet another Chromium-based browser.

Also add an anonymous windows over TOR like brave has, it would be great because the brave tor feels more like a normal browser than a **** command prompt (other tor browsers).

Create a browser that connects to your Proton account and you can log in to the websites you have an account with. It will ask you with which account you intend to log in to that website.
(from among the accounts you have already added to your Proton Pass)
The browser should store the cookies and sessions in a secure place of its own in an encrypted form so that no malware or Trojan can steal it or try to read sensitive data.
To increase safety, you can show a qr code on the screen before entering, so that they can scan it with your mobile account and the app will be automatically connected to your Proton account.

The core idea is to integrate Web3 technologies, similar to what Brave Browser is doing, with ProtonVPN, to create a browser that prioritizes privacy, security, and anonymity from the moment a user opens it. Here’s how it could work:

1. Dynamic IP Changing: Every time the browser is launched, the user’s IP address could change automatically via ProtonVPN. This feature would ensure that each browsing session starts with a fresh IP, enhancing anonymity and making it more difficult to track user activity across sessions.

2. Session-Based Encryption: Similar to how Session Messenger operates, Proton Web could implement point-to-point encryption, ensuring that all browsing data is encrypted end-to-end without passing through any intermediary servers. This would guarantee that no data is monitored or logged at any point during the user’s browsing experience.

3. Web3 Integration: Incorporating Web3 technologies could allow users to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) directly from the browser, further aligning with the principles of decentralization and user autonomy that Proton champions.

4. Privacy-Centric Features: Like all Proton products, Proton Web would come with built-in privacy features such as ad-blocking, anti-tracking, and anti-fingerprinting technologies. The browser could also offer seamless integration with ProtonMail for secure email access and encrypted file sharing.

I believe that Proton Web could offer a groundbreaking alternative to existing browsers, appealing to both your current user base and the broader community of privacy-conscious individuals. It would be a powerful tool for those who value privacy and freedom in their online activities.

I'm starting to trust Firefox less and less as time goes on (see: "privacy-preserving ad measurement"). I would absolutely use a Proton Browser. Signed, Proton Unlimited subscriber.
