alt Hacker NewsGood question. We think the browser is becoming the new OS. It doesn’t really matter anymore if you’re on Windows, macOS, or Linux—the browser is where most work already happens.
We see a future where it’s the main gateway to everything, and where agents live and work alongside you inside the browser. That’s why we call it BrowserOS. :)

Is this really true? Mobile device users are all mostly forced to use apps rather than the browser for most stuff, and people on desktop PCs/laptops are probably either using them for gaming (all desktop apps), or work where a lot of stuff is desktop apps.
Sure regular consumer stuff like social media is webapps (if they're not mobile only), and if you're interacting with like salesforce or a customer support tracker or an issue tracker or something you're likely using a webapp, but the move to mobile devices for most consumer stuff means that people still using PCs are largely power users.
While that may be true, honest feedback is that it is confusing, possibly even misleading. But I hope whatever you pick works for you
