Ah, shame! Hope you update soon :) It's standard Safari dev as SigmaOS is based on WebKit.
Does it have standards parity with Safari or Safari Developer Preview?
I literally never post comments on HN but what is this product. Is this $15/month browser for MacOS ? Fancy browser with grouped tabs, split-screen and sharing but still just browser. I think I'm just too poor to understand. I hope that your product will succeed because then I will know that in this world you can sell ice to an eskimo.
I make enough money to support $180/annual for a product; however, I see no reason to pay that kind of money for a web browser. It costs the same as a full-priced Windows 10 Pro license. I'm sure there are folks who are willing to pay that kind of money for this experience, I'm just not one of them.
I believe Windows Pro license is a one time fee, so SigmaOS is more expensive than Windows
This is pretty much solving a problem that doesn't exist at all.
1. Invent a problem. 2. Market like crazy to make people believe that there's a problem. 3. Charge for a solution to a non-existent problem. 4. Repeat.
A subscription model for a browser seems like a very, very niche market to me - but then that's the vim angle. For me, hard to justify $15 for a relativity feature-lite browser. You would need a stronger value proposition. I think most of these features can be reproduced for free on any other browser. Split view is neat but I do that already with chrome and spectacle, both free.
I found out Spectacle was deprecated when I got the new machine, but Rectangle seems to be its successor. Awesome tools! :D

Thanks for taking the time to make us the first post to post a comment about. The one thing to keep mind is this a browser designed for professionals more than personal use. Example would be WhatsApp vs Slack. Granted some people use even WhatsApp for work, but at companies and within teams Slack is used more because of the structure it gives. Now yes there is a freemium version of Slack but to get the most out of it…
Honestly, this just seems like a cheap rip-off of Vivaldi. All of the features(yes, all of them) are already present in Vivaldi, including the split screen, tree style tabs, sync, global search, full keyboard support. Slapping some UI makeup on top of an already existing product does not warrant a hefty fee of $15 in my view. Also, I don't see any proof that my data is secure. For all I know, you guys will sell off m…

Maybe they shouldn't charge $15/month for a product that's incomplete. The only reason I'm not the target audience here is because I won't use a subscription-based browser, much less one that has fewer features than my current browser. I respect people who build software, but you have to get pricing right if you want people to care. > I wonder what it is about hacker news that brings out this incessant negativity in…
The problem is that the crew who reflexively post negative comments on Show/Launch HNs are mostly a loud (and smug) but unrepresentative minority with idiosyncratic tastes. Sure, you can learn something from any feedback, but most products would be made worse if the creators took these comments too much to heart, especially when it comes to pricing. That said, you can obviously get a lot of great feedback on HN too!…

iCloud synchronization is a security risk at my organization, are there options to sync using secure clouds?
How about the sync generating a file where you want it to, and you can sync that file using your current cloud storage solution? Would that work for you?
