Fast, private, fully-featured, built in Rust (forked Wry, system's WebView). 40 MB. Not a Chromium fork. Native adblocking (forked adblock-rust), major Chrome extension support, deeply integrated productivity tools, a custom agentic browsing engine, and a lot more. It's not just another wrapper built in a few days. And... Work mode: a shared environment where you and AI agents can browse, research, build, and get real work done together. Live browser sessions, parallel sub-agents, tools, files,

Observed adoption & comparisons
Source votes: 3 votes (Oct 26, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication); previous same-scope observation: 3 (Oct 25, 2026 UTC). These observations do not establish demand growth. Recent records to compare: “google/skills” (GitHub Trending, Nov 6, 2026); “mattpocock/skills” (GitHub Trending, Nov 6, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Adoption decision
Evaluate it against the tool or manual workflow it would replace. The stored record supports discovery; it does not yet establish reliability, lower operating cost or commercial adoption.
Unverified requirements
Not verified: license permissions, required hardware, installation steps, maintenance status and a representative task with its failure cases.
Next test
Choose one real task and a current alternative. Record the commit, environment, input, output, elapsed time and failure behavior; retain the result before recommending adoption.
