Is it Chromium based?
Couldn't find the answer around the web, but here's their blog post about the browser!
It uses Microsofts WebView2, which is chromium. Also it neither block ads nor support any extension.
Ah, but it has a privacy-friendly alternative to blocking ads: not blocking ads!
But why? That seems stupid. Who wants privacy and ads shown?
It’s still in beta. Extension support is coming, it’s in the article in OP.
It looks like it’s fully in house. They say it’s not a fork of any browser and that everything was made by their team
not interested - any browser based on chromium is going to force manifest V3 and stop supporting ad-blockers. firefox with ublock is the way to go, for me. I like their search engine tho.
