When I was thinking about Brave, I realized not only had Mozilla become captured by its search partner, it was probably going to die because it couldn't compete, not just on Chrome intrinsic qualities, but on distribution, which really matters at scale.

I got there in April 1995, on April 3rd I think, and the IPO was sometime in August. It was a huge rocket and it was to me a little bit scandalous because in the '80s SGI had to have three profitable quarters before it could IPO, whereas Netscape just went on forward speculation, forward multiples, and it was not profitable.

I would like to see us get to that scale because then, I think, distribution could go in directions that right now is harder to do organically and will cost you a lot if you have to pay for it, but that's kind of a mundane business thing.
