My thoughts exactly.
Also nothing is stopping someone from forking an open browser and throwing money/bodies at keeping it up.
It's be a shame to lose free updates, but certainly not undoable.
Agreed. As much as I understand the urge to build your own shiny new thing, I'd pay real actual human money for someone to take Blink, and put it in a non-lobotomized, non-enshittified, non-garbage UI that has things like a self-hosted sync server, built-in adblock/noscript/etc, and the ability to use extensions for things like password managers.
But no crypto stuff, no gaming stuff, no VPN services, no browser password managers, no sponsored links, no sponsored default search engines, no email client, blah blah blah.
Browser, adblock, self-hosted sync, done.
