On the other hand, I don't want to send money with my email client, any more than I want to be able to play video games with it. And I'm sure there's people who want to send money on Google's platform, but don't want the rest of the Google apps.

Whatever happened to the Unix Philosophy? Applications should do one thing, and do it well.

It is scary that you're getting downvoted. I guess the thumbs down crowd really wants the web browser to do everything.

If the browser has me as their primary customer I feel it's a good gatekeeper to a web that wants to exploit me.

The browser enables advertisers and malicious users to exploit your privacy.
