I have been following Mighty for a while and while I'm certainly curious to try it and have no doubt that the team behind is top-notch from an Engineering perspective, I generally dislike the direction of this product.
Why? I'm sure there are valid use-cases for it (Figma, other heavy apps), especially for B2B customers, just like there are for other RBI solutions. But the way that it's hailed as a Chrome killer or "The Best Browser" by many of its fans is disingenuous because it is simply not a browser that you run yourself, and the minute you stop paying or your high speed network is unavailable you can't use that browser anymore. Nobody would think of their Netflix subscription as their own "library" that sits in their own shelf, it's a subscription.
Lastly, and this is what was the final straw, their own damn website makes my browser crawl. Try developing a marketing page on a Linux machine without HW-accelerated rendering or WebGL support please. It's ironic (or genius) that you make people wish they were using your product when they visit your own website already.
