I think if they advertised it right & set the price decently, they would get plenty of income.
How long for? The US tech sector deals with competitors that it can't beat by either undercutting them and bankrupting or buying them and crushing the product. There's many examples of this.
So how long would Google or other tech majors allow a growing private browser or email business to survive that threatened their entire business model? It isn't just the single company, it is the importance of the concept of paying a modest sum for actual privacy, which the ad-slingers really can't afford to take off.
