Anyone planning on building a browser?
I’d happily donate to anyone working on a project such as this.
Or at least a functional search bar app within any of the current browsers?

How is a a native browser different from a browser with a SAFE extension?
Search is easy, indexing is hard.

Personally I am not a fan of extensions and addons to browsers as I think they are unnecessary for the small amounts of time I need to use them and they slow everything down. If I do use them I’ll delete them immediately after. The only one I use is AdBlocker.
And the way you market an extension as compared with a browser is completely different.
I think there a pro’s and con’s to both and who says we cant have both.
Obviously it would be easier to start with an extension and then offer a browser much later on.
EDIT also I think if you have a vault/launcher it could just as easily have a global search function that doubles as a browser type tool.
You said it, man. To maintain a browser is no fun. Look at the graveyard, it’s full of various small companies that tried to build their own (based on one of major browsers) and “add value”.
Vault: obviously it could search only public files. As far as I know this hasn’t yet been planned. In the beginning someone will have to build a Yahoo! type of directory, but hopefully less ugly.
