Personally, I don't have Google Apps on my phone at all. If it's not in F-Droid or available as an apk from the developer, it doesn't get installed.
That seems limiting. Is it because you don't trust Google?

#52I've been using your browser for a couple months now (I think I saw it mentioned on Android Police if you're curious) and I've been liking it.

So im sure you can find a place even without making it the first choice for hackers.. but of course you can always take measures to address the concerns of this crowd..
But at first, i think is good to focus on what you are good at; than if you succeed you can grow and address more the security conscious people
Dont try to be everything to everyone else(at least at first), as browser market is crowded you have a very narrow door to pass through, once you find it, use it
(About Trust: it will come slowly with time; It's something you cant get for free anyway.. as in any relationship in life)

Telling us your name would be a start!
Take a look at the Play store, it's right below the product title ;)

That's not a silver bullet idea though, because it requires trusted voluntary (or not) people and there is always a slight risk of source code leak.

Javelin isn't open source, so you're right, you have to have some amount of faith in an unknown group of developers.
Personally, that's not what's keeping me from using Javelin, I just need firefox sync support to consider it.
