Looks very cool! Is there a way to change the hotkey? I have option-space deeply encoded in my brain to bring up Alfred, so I'd rather not change that. And is there any way to navigate between open pages with the keyboard? Seems like all the navigation is very mouse-centric.

#133Lynx¹ and NetSurf both display history in a tree, good to see browsers with "modern" engines catching up! (I think Firefox's Tree Style Tab extension was the closest alternative available before this)
¹requires configuration (under "Special Files and Screens", set "Visited Pages" to "As Visit Tree")

Alas, the state of the tech advertising industry… Honestly, it’s all so exhausting I’m just so damn tired. You can’t even buy an OS anymore that isn’t loaded to the brim with bloat and spyware—provided BY THE MANUFACTURER nonetheless. Honestly, once Windows ten is end Of life I’m done with tech industry. I’ll go to the library and read some books; I’ll use a pen/pencil; I’ll wander, blissfully into the sunset.
Why, there's Linux.
I agree Linux is great—and I shall continue to use the OS. But the online ads are even more exhausting than desktop-bound ads no matter which browser, no matter which ad blocker, no matter which OS. Not just ads but those annoying “cookie” banners …
And let me just say: God help those who frequent TikTok… Their minds will be mush 2.0.

#135Love it, this is the most innovative thing in the browser space for a long while. It's baffling to me how boring most 'new' browsers are - most propositions are 'like X but with less friction on these 2 or 3 things'. I hate that it's only for Mac so far, but glad to see others are on the way. I've been thinking about picking up a cheap older mac for development work, though, and this is one more reason in favor.
I'm surprised to see you so excited about this. Have you used tiling window managers? What does this and a rofi or similar component not have, or a gnome3 script? Not as convenient, yeah.
The big concern I would have if I were these guys is their magic is their UI, apparently, and they've given it away. If they truly have something good, it's some Electron windows inside a gui kit. Not to understate the work, but the work is ahead of them, too.

Yes, it does: https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php?tab=mac
Mac only though. Many of us don’t have or want Apple PCs.
This still refutes the previous poster's point though. Just because you don't use apple, does not mean that LastPass doesn't offer this service.

#137I'm guessing this is done with WebKit so I wonder how hard it would be to port to Linux/Windows. Also it would be neat to have vim-like keyboard shortcuts.

#138the hotkey conflicts with Alfred and I wish it was modifiable because Alfred is dear to me and I do not want to change it's hotkey.

#139Great job, really looking forward to trying this out.
