Like someone else has already stated, it would be absolutely great to add our own Proton Browser to the Proton environment (please, withhold judgment until you've read the last paragraph). It feels like the one thing that is missing (however, I do wish Proton would make a Virtual Card service for online payments as well.) I am making a separate post to share my thoughts more clearly and to be notified about any feedback.
- Search Engine
Proton is more than capable of creating its own privacy-focused search engine. That being said, when it comes to online searches, I like to get as many results as I can, that's why I use SearXNG on hardened Firefox which combines the results of multiple search engines. It would be great to have something like that. However, it would also make sense to have something unique to proton, akin to what Brave was trying to do. The only difference being that Brave relies on Chromium - something I would NOT enjoy for Proton's browser.
- Extensions
Needles to say, the browser should support extensions for the other Proton apps, notably Pass and VPN.
- Price
To make this more appealing, there could either be a free version of this with heavy limitations, or make it an exclusive feature for Plus / Unlimited users. I can see that there could even be a new plan just for the browser, like there are for Pass, Mail, VPN.
- Safety
It would be nice, though not essential, to have some sort of integrated antivirus / antitracker with Proton Sentinel. Perhaps another extension? The idea is that when downloading a harmful file, or trying to reach a dangerous site, Proton Sentinel (or anything akin to that) will warn you and try to prevent you from doing that.
- Quality over quantity
This can potentially draw too many resources from the company and its workers. While having a dedicated browser sounds very appealing to some - and to me - there is the harsh reality that such a project could distract Proton from managing and improving the already existing apps. That is not something the userbase would appreciate. A Proton-made version of Firefox sounds good, too, but it might be redundant with the absurdly vast amount of other options there are currently. In my case, Librewolf for PC and Mull for Android. Would Proton's browser be able to compete? I can only see it possible if it actually ended up not being free, or maybe it would simply be just not a smart business move.
