Команда The Browser Company победила в конкурсе аналогий: https://browsercompany.substack.com/p/acid
> When we tell people we’re working on a browser, the first thing everyone asks is “Why? Does the world really need a new browser?” (...) Whenever someone asks, “Do we really need another such-and-such?” The answer is almost always “probably.” This is because technology improves and improvement means change.
> If you think we’re “playing around with tabs,” you probably don’t get what a browser is. (...) Building blocks? Nah. Tools? Not exactly. A blank sheet of paper? A ship sailing through the internet? The best analogy we’ve got is actually not about a browser at all — it’s about recreational drugs.
> Before drugs, my friend assumed his eyes would always work like… well, eyes! (...) [Then] he was like, “Wait, how did my body even do that? What is reality?! What are eyes?!” (...) Are there rules, or are there only defaults? What other invisible false pillars was he living his life by? (...) The way he phrased it to me was, “When I do acid, it’s like messing with the operating system for humans.”
> This is why we’re so breathlessly excited to be building a browser. ( — прим. ред.)
