On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, our goal should be realistic,
and I don't think "offering our own competitive web browser" ticks that
box. We've been there, we've done that, we succeeded to some degree in
the most spectacular way (think where KHTML successors are shipped and
what they brought to the eco system) and failed in other dimensions
(think about the state of KHTML and our own web browser offering
nowadays). 

What's probably a lot more realistic and worthwhile is
to we make integration for web browsers that do respect privacy work
really well. Integrating Tor really well would also be a good idea in
that regard.
