Its keybindings deliberately follow Emacs and Vim, so they feel familiar if you've used either editor.

Lisp is what you reach for when you want to change or script behavior: the browser is infinitely extensible in it.

The project is under active development, so expect rough edges.

Instead of a flat forwards-backwards line, revisiting an old page opens a branch, so you never lose track of where you've been.

Multi tab search also queries several tabs at once and shows all results in a single window.
