I think what the comment you're replying to meant was that the product team isn't capturing and reviewing user activity to figure out what the user's are doing or wanting.
Yeah, I misread grandparent and thought they were talking about forgoing profit from telemetry, e.g. Google Chrome
As GP, to clarify, that was my takeaway - that they intend to forego in-app telemetry completely. Apologies if I was mistaken in my assumption but that was my read. If true, it is a bold move and a strategy I would love to employ if I could convince others on my teem of the merits.
I think what the comment you are replying to means is that priorities can change, even more so if there is a change of ownership in the horizon.
See my sibling comment to yours for clarification on my mistake, but to respond I don't think Vlad intends on selling the browser since he needs it to promote his search engine, Kagi Search. Doesn't completely mitigate the risk but I think enough since its now tablestakes in the search engine space to offer your own browser, Brave is the same way.
