The central goal here is to a simply build a browser for users that has privacy, security, freedom set as the default. Non tech users will not have to make any adjustments to the settings to view the SAFEnetwork.
Additionally, this gets the ball rolling for future devs to more easily (Other browsers are massively complex) build onto this core browser with the features they want.
I will follow up with more details to how this API for a generic network could possibly work. I think we would fail with this build if it didn’t make it easier for others to integrate SAFEnetwork into all of the more complex browsers in the future.
Having endless options and customization is amazing and something I seek out, but my target end-user is my 87 year old grandparent who still calls the Internet Explorer Icon her email and writes down every step she has to do to buy something from Amazon; but still calls me to order something. When her home page of yahoo email (set by me) some how changed she called me immediately and said her email was broken. Last but not least she manages to click on every spamware, virus, scam you could imagine and has had her credit card information stolen multiple times.
Finally, MaidSafe felt this community driven build was important enough to be the first project for the Community Engagement Program so I will do everything in my power to make sure this is completed. It seems logical starting with something simple and achievable now so we all can learn and build from this initial project.
