As a guy who was working a lot on improving Android OS privacy. I see several problems here: - First and the main. How persuade user to buy your solution. Buy is not about money. Buy is to replace existent free solutions. Solid should have substantial user base. Only in this case big players will take Solid into account. E.g. there are a lot of private Android forks and stores. They have no traction. Privacy is a feature. This feature is not very important for current customers. - Second, it is hard to manage permissions for data access by hands. User should judge is access reasonable for this application. It is complex even in Android case, where every user works with hundred of applications. In web case it is more complex. You will contact hundred of services during visit of single page (CDN, javascript hosting, video hosting, ads serving etc). User will just push "Allow" button on every access request. - Third, every current technology was created for sharing (or surveillance, if you prefer). Data is leaking through provied permissions. E.g.you give application access to photos, it has access to location. Location is stored in photo's EXIF header. - It is hard to persuade user to buy something. Here buy is about money. 3d party developers prefer to give free applications. They monetize showing ads |
