In your current setup, how many people do you have to trust (aside from Amber)? Is it not all the makers of the hardware of your phone? We can't zoom in to consider only one part of the stack as needing to be trustless. Looks to me like Will is trying to make more than one layer of the stack, and doing it himself so that it can be trustless (as possible) (for him). Fun to watch.

I was really just trying to solve the “need to install a browser plugin or app” barrier for normies. To do that i had to build an entirely new browser not based on the web. Might be crazy, but we’ll see.
Very few. I run custom ROMs and Linux, which is about all I can do and still be connected. If that becomes too much, I'll just disconnect be annoyed for a while but get over it.
I don't fully trust will. Or hazard. Or Vitor. But I certainly don't want to trust any of them fully with my nsec. I have to trust something to start, and that is amber, but I prefer that since that's offline and not popular enough to be a target of hacking at this point. It may, in the future, and that will be something to figure out.
I can't code any of this, but I certainly have an opinion on how I want to interact with nostr clients in general. I understand more of why will is doing things the way he is, but I'm not going to use his stuff if he doesn't support nip46 signing. His objections have one good point and the rest is just being a bull-headed iOS conformoid.
