Any mac users out there who tried this browser? Linux alpha is coming this month so will try it myself then.
It sounds like they are building a new browser from the ground up.
I like that it can run both Firefox and Chrome extensions. I… don’t like much else about it.
It seems like it doesn’t use multiple cores efficiently. When I’m taxing my GPU for video transcoding all other web browsers hold up but this one always stalls.
It’s a shame. I use Kagi for search and id love to see them succeed together but the browser is not yet there. It went “out of beta” officially but not practically.

Not really from the grounds up as it uses WebKit.
Used it very shorty on a mac, but as it really is very similar to safari there is little to no reason to use it.
On a linux maybe, but i think i will stay on firefox until servo is usable. (Which is actually being made from the grounds up)

On Linux there is Falkon. Windows too. (QT WebKit) And the reason I won’t use this will likely be the same as Falkon. Missing plugins etc. Other than that they are fine. Bitwarden has a desktop app. (Electron? Dunno but it would be ironic) But no auto fill ability. Darkreader? Nope. There may be some limited adblocking, but no greasemonkey type functionality.

Falkon stopped useing QTWebKit a few years ago. Now it’s just an other Chromium-based browser.
