built on Chromium If only Firefox(Gecko) would get some more attention...
Why exactly? I honestly do not understand HN fascination with Firefox. Firefox isn't even in the top 3 browsers anymore and has about the same Marketshare as Samsung internet. It is irrelevant at this point. Blink is the standard for rendering now just as Linux is the standard for web servers.
This is precisely the issue. The fact that Google has such a mass control over Internet rendering means that they are free to write their own standards with absolutely no pushback. It is essentially an Internet explorer situation, whereas if Google wants something to work a certain way, you have no choice but to adapt it least certain websites won’t work.
I don’t think a single commercial entity — let alone one with such a disastrous privacy record whose primary source of income is advertising — should be able to strongarm the Internet like it currently can.
Random thought, perhaps for later: some form of keyboard-centric navigation functionality - boosts your UX differentiation and it likely speaks to your target audience. Something along the lines of Nyxt browser[1] or the popular Vimium extension[2].
Why are you swallowing "error" from invoking the "reall" tool? That seems like a great way to make contributors really frustrated: https://github.com/imperviousinc/beacon/blob/main/tools/src/... and again https://github.com/imperviousinc/beacon/blob/main/tools/src/...

Glad you're looking at the code! There's still some refactoring needed for butil. It will get more polished soon ;)

butil applies string replacements, patches and overrides all under one tool using a statically typed language but still usable like a scripting lang since it can rebuild the actual tool as needed. You can technically do something similar with various python scripts I suppose and use chromium's GN build system . GN would just end up calling various scripts so I think i prefer this more unless you have some other ideas.
