Web3 enabled browsers like metamask, coinbase wallet, trust wallet, brave.
Safari and chrome mobile browsers are not compatible with web3 or dapps.

So we’re back to square one: they’re not usable on mobile devices almost everyone uses.

Um…all the web3 mobile browsers I listed are…mobile browsers. So yes the all work on mobile devices that everyone uses.

But not browsers many people use, you have to get them to install and use another browser before the app is even accessible at the most basic level

The goal posts went from a point about big tech controlling the web3 browsers (which they don’t), to web3 browsers not being on mobile (they are), to not many people using them…
I take it your definition of “not many people” to mean less than the number of users that use safari or chrome, so you win.
But the clever thing about web3 browsers is that they are crypto wallets so odds are if you own crypto, then you have have downloaded and use a web3 browser. Browsers like Brave and MetaMask have 10’s of millions of active users, it’s not exactly nothing for web browsers that didn’t exist a year ago.

Brave is chromium, it may have wallet functionality, but they are not "new" or web3 at the core.
Metamask is a browser extension, not a browser.
I think you lost credibility by being to clever at this point
