Chromium, Electron and VSCode are all the rage to fork as an LLM application base. In truth it doesn't really matter which you start from, they all lead to the One Local LLM App. There's already a fairly deterministic path of development, we're just waiting to see who wins the race in execution and marketing.

In the meantime, the bigger opportunity with relatively little competition at the moment is the Web itself, not which application to browse it with. The Web absolutely sucks, and that's most of the reason we even feel the need for an "elevated browser experience" in the first place (i.e. lifted trucks on the information highway).

The Web sucks, because it was built naively, then optimized for profitable friction. But all of it stood on the assumption that the cost of production on the web involves highly skilled human labor. LLMs have shattered that assumption, but the effects have not manifested. Which is to say that the entire existing Web is probably going to become a marginal, legacy corner of a much bigger base of LLM-driven hypermedia contents that is yet to come.
