   This feels like a perfect marketing tool: have a bunch of "people" discussing over a "topic" that is "important", "hot" and who doesn't have to be paid for their time and vocal cords. Surely if t

   I had doubts already when submissions promoting the browser were added on hn while there was no way to see how it looks like or even test it out - for quite some time there was nothing but mail singup on their page. https://news.
