Nice, great to see the continued development of an old-school, lightweight browser. We need more active alternatives to the bloated duopoly.

It's only a duopoly?! I'm genuinely curious who you see as the top two and what other bloated browsers don't make your list.
who you see as the top two
- Chrome, Chrome but Microsoft, Chrome but crypto and homophobic CEO, Chrome but with makeup on
- Firefox, Firefox but no Mozilla, Firefox but TOR, Firefox but Mullvad
LOL, fair point!
Chrome but crypto and homophobic CEO
😬 I'm just going to guess Brave?
Correct
I'm not OP, but Chromium-based and Gecko-based might be the duopoly?
Right, so engines not browsers/brands. That makes sense 🙂 I guess Edge, Trident or WebKit don't really figure into that scale?
Edge has been chromium-based for a few years now
Duh, you're right. I refuse to use it so I'm not exactly up to date...
We are so back
