#42What does that even mean
I took it as they want to be irrelevant and outpaced by all of their competitors in the next 5 years.

#43After reading this, I feel the founders of Elph and myself have radically different ideas about what "Netscape" means.
I see Coinbase as "the Netscape of crypto". They're the company that is making it easy for ordinary people to get involved with trading or holding crypto assets, basically the on-ramp to the cryptocurrency world. Ironically, Coinbase sees themselves as "the Google of crypto". Having worked at Google, this seems nonsensical to me.

I'm pretty sure cryptokitties are teh Google of cryto. They kind of have a product that makes sense in the cryptocurrency universe.

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
what other apps do this?
This is a web browser with W3 tools built-in. It's nothing you can't do without Chrome/Firefox + Metamask (or Coinbase's future Metamask competitor). I do think it's a good idea, because you can reduce friction and polish the UI by integrating everything, but in the long run, if crypto is successful, I really think Firefox and Chrome will just adopt all these W3 technologies natively. It will be hard to compete.
Brave already comes preinstalled with MetaMask. Still, I think there will always be demand for third party key management like Elph provides.

yes but I don't think it's just a web browser + features that they're trying to do

That's just... I don't have words to describe this. You realize Netscape invented SSL? This "crypto" term you and a bunch of other people already existed and has a conflicting meaning since it is one the core functionalities of what your term uses. You and your gang need to figure out a different term. I suggest the term cryptocurrency or digitulips.
