Episode 49 of The Sideload puts a direct question on the table: is the browser dying. Hosts Will and newly permanent co-host Daniel Bader examine the competitive landscape outside Chrome, what users actually need from a browser in 2026, and whether agentic AI use cases are about to make the traditional browsing paradigm obsolete.
The co-host announcement alone is worth tuning in for context, but the browser conversation carries more weight. The discussion moves past surface-level app comparisons into what criteria even matter when evaluating a browser today, a question the industry has largely stopped asking out loud.
If you follow how AI agents interact with the web, this episode is a direct data point on where that conversation is heading. Find it on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Pocket Casts.
