Dev Builds Grok-Native Open Source Browser Xplor
Daniel_Farinax · x · 2026-07-07
Developer @DanielFarinax drew a historical parallel: in 1998, Microsoft IE held 95% market share but was still phased out, proving that monopolies end when a true alternative emerges. Today, Chrome holds 68% while browsers haven't fundamentally changed in 15 years, yet AI is changing everything. He then introduced Xplor, an open-source project built on Chromium, natively integrated with Grok, and completely independent of Google, aiming to kickstart the next "AI browser war."
