The reason to throw away the strong brand is because it's notorious for crappy standards support. A new name on the new browser might have a small psychological benefit. Maybe.
I don't think having a browser bundled in the OS is really a problem it's actually something that should be a part of a modern OS. In the early days of the web it was not a need, but now days you might as well say that disk defragmenting, search indexing, media players, and half a dozen other utilities don't belong in the OS either.
Imagine, back in the day, if all the DOS file manager companies complained because Windows 3.1 included it's own file manager.
As the internet becomes "everywhere" and distribution becomes virtually cost free, maybe the new production model or books for music is could be for the author to say, I'll write another volume in the "such and such series" if people donate $100,000 or whatever to support me for the estimated two years it takes to write the story.
Then once it's released it doesn't matter if it gets copied. Of course that would eliminate the concept of working for a few years and having income for the rest of your life. But people who build houses don't get paid a tax as long as the house is occupied either. So it's not like it's without precedence.
