Any mac users out there who tried this browser? Linux alpha is coming this month so will try it myself then.

It sounds like they are building a new browser from the ground up.

I've used it on both macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) and iOS.

On macOS it's been fine, but nothing about it was unique or beneficial enough to make me switch to it as my default browser. I imagine the experience on Linux will be similar.

On iOS, I've been daily driving it for almost exactly a year. At first it was very buggy, and I once lost all of my opened tabs. But for the past 6-8 months it has been very solid, and is the only browser on iOS that allows me to use both ad and sponsor block plug-ins to my knowledge. Tab groups are also fantastic and easy to manage.

That sounds hopeful. :) Even if its just like any browser on Linux, fun to try it for a while.

I hope the launch goes well, I'll certainly give it a try.

I didn't find anything wrong with it on Mac, it was a perfectly cromulent browser. And anything that can help dethrone the chrome monopoly is a win in my book.
