Browsers, and the browser engines that power them, provide critical public infrastructure to over five
5+
billion people. To cover the high cost of maintaining such complex feats of engineering, browser
6+
vendors and search engine providers have improvised a system in which money is levied from search
7+
revenue and distributed to browsers. Over the years, this ad hoc system has succeeded in providing some
8+
funding to browsers but it suffers from a muddled lack of transparency and has known detrimental effects
9+
on funding attribution, concentration, search quality, privacy, misinformation, publisher revenue, and
10+
opinion pluralism. This specification captures the web community's experience with the current system so
11+
as to refine requirements and formalizes a browser/search levy that improves on the current one and
12+
addresses its shortcomings.
