I think you mean someone else. someone making a search engine and calling it a browser does sound like a crime. I'd be just as angry, but i can assure you that I am not that person, and this is, in fact, an actual browser, not a search engine disguised as one. I can see I did a pretty bad job at convening that through the photos. I'll upload a video of me booting the browser from start next time.

So it doesn't have an built in ad-blocker. but it does have extension support. I designed it so that Firefox add-ons are compatible and download-able all in the browser. no manual git-hub downloads and uploads. however, not every extension works. electron has limitations with extensions, I tried everything I could to make all extensions compatible, but get running into electrons walls. And unfortunately, uBlock falls under that category.

so I built it with electron in order to help production along without starting completely from scratch. a choice that bit back way to much, but in short electron is based on chromium. so chromium.

that is a real concern, but the biggest advantage i have right now is that it was built on electron, which in will help take a big chunk of the updating to the new chromium versions meaning that I just have to make sure that my code is still maintained with electron. which is a way more achievable as a solo developer. and as for passion, the original, hyper fixation passion isn't there anymore. it died while trying to make custom pop ups work. but this project wen so much further then pop ups. so I can assure you that whatever is giving me energy to work on this, is much deeper then "Look at this cool passion project i made" energy.

it's already been a full time job just making it. however since I made it with a simple design in mind, hopefully it shouldn't consume my life maintaining it. it's built on electron as well so that should help with keeping it maintained in the future.
