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

  1. Chrome, Chrome but Microsoft, Chrome but crypto and homophobic CEO, Chrome but with makeup on
  2. 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?

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...

This is my go-to when running a VM with intentionally very small memory footprint
