Summary: I agree with anonym.

I would find it very complicated to open a browser for each type of
traffic, because this requires the user to understand the different
kinds of traffic.

The case of the I2P browser is a specific one: this browser targets a
very particular subset of users: those who use Tails with I2P. These
users might eventually even be considered as power users, as using I2P -
at least it seems like that to me - is already something very specific
which people need to read up on before using it at all.
That is why I believe that I2P users are able to understand why there is
a second browser for their particular use case.

For the normal user a 3rd browser might be very confusing and I'd rather
see the combination of Unsafe and LAN happen.

Cheers.
