   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

• What is something you refuse to spend money on?

  I recommend you try Pale Moon or Konqueror too if you're curious about other, smaller browsers that are also FOSS. Personally, I use Firefox, eww in Emacs, and Lynx (Lynx especially when I've got low bandwidth) but I'm trying to shift to Conkeror bc I prefer keyboard-based navigation. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ladybird: A new cross-platform browser project

  Happy to see new browsers appearing. Up to this day I'm still trying to find a good replacement for Conkeror(http://conkeror.org/), with little luck. Webmacs was quite promising for a bit but it just petered off. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

  Try other alternatives, like Conkeror and suckless surf. Source: about 3 years 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.
