   So many bugs to fix

   The idea of a productivity based browser is great but since this browser is still new, it has trouble with a lot of things. Sometimes it doesn't open a new tab when i try, sometimes web apps don't open, and overall its not a smooth experience that i could recommend to people

   🏁 Competitors: Vivaldi, Mozilla Firefox, Brave

   👍 Pros:    Everything you need is in the homepage|Looks really pretty|Focuses on productivity|Has control over ram usage and data|A search option that searches all throughout your history, bookmarks, web and everything

   👎 Cons:    A buggy performance|Short term freezes|Might need some time getting used to the web apps

• How can I share my setup with a friend?

  All for all I'm sort of imitating the "spaces" behavior of Arc for those who are familiar with this nice new kid on the block, only with a real separation between working spaces (as I'm using containers) and outside the chromium ecosystem. Source: 5 months ago

• Making Twitter likes/bookmarks backup tool as side quest of browser that saves everything

  To make snapshot it takes current state of DOM, current state of styles (to capture CSS-in-JS stuff), take resources like font/images from network storage (Chrome Dev Tools protocol) and saves it as HTML on disk.
