I would like to see you and all people think that they can roll own software with AI come together with AI as well and write chromium one day

I don't think I was suggesting you build your own Chromium so much as do what all these other browser projects do and fork it. The "software A got too bloated so we released software B" cycle is eternal but I'm optimistic it's moving even closer to the actual user than it has been in a while.

Anecdotally the company I work for is scuppered by bureaucracy when it comes to getting tools to work with, yet they want us to work at unhindered startup.

We’ve found it’s actually quicker to just recreate the app (Postman, Obsidian, Claude desktop) than it is to go through the rigmarole of getting the download/license approved.

And now you have to maintain all those tool clones! Seems like a losing battle and waste of resources to me. This is just not-invented-here syndrome wearing a different sweater
