    I guess I could just search for it, but is this chromium based?

    Edit: The mac and ios versions are based on WebKit, the android one is based on chromium. I would guess the windows one is based on chromium as well, but cant find anything definitive.

      Yes, they also haven’t implemented extension support yet.

        That’s a pity. I never quite understood why these privacy-focused browsers always reskin chromium, instead of firefox.

          There are many privacy focused browsers that are built on FireFox
