Veera: India's First Homegrown Browser

Given that there is a team of suits behind this thing I wouldn't be surprised if this thing is riddled with sponsored content in 6 months.

Just look at bloatware apps like Glance in India, or current crop of Redmi/Vivo phones to see the future of this.

It's pretty simple. No one is going to pay for this when Chrome is free. Only people who will pay for a browser are tech enthusiasts and this is doing a terrible job of targetting them. They gotta make money somehow in the end.

If they can get the attention of a sufficiently well-connected person, they can probably scam their way into patronage via some form of bundling either via a well-connected private entity or government.

"Most-favoured browser of the RSS" or some similar gross nonsense.
