I am the author of Javelin Browser (javelinbrowser.com , for Android), and I think I founded a business model (that works) that is entirely opposite of Firefox's and Chrome's, VPN services. In fact, Javelin is so pro-consumer that it has Ad-Block built-in.

In less than a month, I'm edging close to 50k downloads with a good retention rate (installed users), and with revenue coming in from Pro accounts and VPN subscriptions.

The long term plan is to grab the market share by focusing on a Pro-Consumer experience, all whilst enabling a better secure and decentralised internet.



Want to really gain some "pro-consumer" points? Open source it.


I think that "some" points is mostly negligible.
