You're right. Mostly this browser changes the UX of the web surfing, with your webapps using an OS-like interface, with icons, badges and windows.

Websites are apps these days, but browsers UX is still the same thing since 10 years ago.

This browser is based on Electron. It's stil in a MVP version, plugins support, SSO, cookie sync, better integrations... will be added in the future.

It has been a really interesting development so if anyone has questions we're pleased to answer them.

Why do I have to have an account to use this? That's enough for me to not want to use it.
