Why is a different browser with completely different UX that is using Chromium not unique?

Yeah to me it's the wolf in grandma’s clothing.

The team was indeed phenomenal at what they did. But I don't think they ever figured how to get money from it.

What are the other options to get funding to build a good revolutionary browser in this capitalist world?

and if you want examples of features that can't be solved with os shorctuts look at some of the replies in this thread, e.g. this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50199454

It was a good browser with pleasant UI and interesting features that broke the status quo. The tiling problem can be solved by hiding the sidebar (and it also had versatile built-in tiling), and it's only a problem if you use tiling in the first place. I don't know where you're coming from with the shortcut gripe, to be honest. I think it's a good thing that people try to build something new and overthrow Chrome with its MANY flows.
