A private browser for macOS and Linux that you can make your own. Spaces with their own sign-ins, a vertical sidebar with Essentials, pinned tabs and folders, split view, and ad, tracker and fingerprinting protection on by default. On-device Apple Intelligence summarises, translates and searches your history by meaning. The whole UI is TypeScript, React and CSS on Electron, so a fork runs in minutes with no Chromium to compile.
