We are seeing amazing progress with the Steem ecosystem.  What is being developed is shooting Steem up the DApp ranking charts.  Steem has half the applications in the top 10 and 10 in the top 20 according to [stateofthedapps.com](https://www.stateofthedapps.com/rankings/platform/steem).

Please bear in mind, I am not a programmer so I do not know the technical details behind this.  Perhaps some of the more knowledgeable ones on here could comment.

Looking at the overall rankings, I see the 4th spot held by BAT.  This the application tied to the Brave browser.

If I am not mistaken, the individual behind Mozilla is also behind the Brave browser.  While I am for a project like this, I feel that it is something we can do also.

How about the idea of creating a Steem browser?  Talk about a great piece to promote Steem.

Whether we are looking at desktop or mobile, the browser world is still very large.  It is only going to grow over the next decade as billions more sign onto the web.

To me, this seems like an ideal fit for Steem.  A team could create a browser called "Steem" which would promote the name and brand awareness.  We also could see a lot of crypto functionality built right into it.  Opera recently made headlines with the implementation of crypto into that browser.  Imagine having the ability to tie into one's Steem account directly from the web browser.

I imagine that applications could then create different plug ins which would foster more use.  Like most DApps, this could be decentralized and open to provide the security to the users that are required.

Again, I am not a programmer but, to me, this seems like a fascinating idea.  Perhaps building browsers is highly complicated.  Nevertheless, all the applications we have are interfaces to the blockchain, yet they do not access the Internet.  How amazing would it be to be able to interact with the Web using the Steem browser?

Someone could then build an application that allows people to view advertisements.  For these to get through, they are opt in requiring permission from the user.  Of course, to do so, there would need to be incentive, i.e. a token payment.  The application could create a token that is sold to companies who are interested in getting people to view their ads.

Just a few ideas that popped into my head.

What are your thoughts on this?
