The Internet and Ethereum share many parallels. We can learn from the history of the Web and the "browser wars" to better understand the role of browsers and their impact on adoption, standards and the perceived value of a network. The Chrome browser defines for most people how they use services and experience the Internet. A new generation of clients will eventually do the same for the Ethereum network and the Web3. Applications such as Mist or Brave use popular frameworks like Electron to accelerate the development of browsers and browser-like applications without giving up platform ownership as it is the case for plugins such as Metamask. However, Electron has some serious security issues that should be considered and which are discussed together with their alternatives.
