   The biggest issue with Vim is that early learners feel punished and feel slower using it than their original tool. That post about quitting is hilarious, I just found it a a few weeks ago :P We're working hard to make sure users don&#x

   Yes, they're very annoying. I'm working on implementing extensions ASAP so you can use those on SigmaOS (or maybe even built-in natively? ;p)

   I think it's called JavaScriptCore? It's Apple's and works with WebKit.

   Oh, sorry about that! Hopefully you give it a try when you update eventually :)

   I'm working on building it from scratch for SigmaOS :P. Should have it out in a couple weeks! edit: implementing Chrome extension API. All Chrome extensions will be available :)

   Yeah, we're using new frameworks that help keep our performance fast and product iteration high. Hopefully you'll be able to upgrade to try it out :)

   We actually don’t gather our users’ data. But if you want to sync your data across devices, you’d have to upload your data (though we’re trying to move to iCloud for this so we don’t have to keep it). Our privacy policy is available on our

   Hmm, not familiar with WebView2 myself. I think WebKit helped a lot initially getting everything running. Not having access to extensions and other limitations imposed by Apple is a bit of a bummer (which I'm working around), but I thi

   Honestly, agree 100%. How do you communicate that to users though? The trust is hard to gain.

    I agree on the personal discipline side, but I also think browsers can guide you towards a behavior with their design. Give it a go and tell me if it improved your flow or not. I get you on the whole messaging aspect, though I personally fi

    I found out Spectacle was deprecated when I got the new machine, but Rectangle seems to be its successor. Awesome tools! :D

    Vim is awesome because it makes me fast at what I do. I use Vim for everything when I code, except for Swift (Xcode). I feel fast when I'm using SigmaOS. And we hope our users do too. We'll be adding features that our users need a

    Fair point, can't convince you we're trustworthy just by telling you, but I can still say it anyways :P We don't use keyloggers. We don't sell your data. If we did, it would be a breach of our privacy policy and you coul

    Good points! We're working on extensions and Adblock right now, so should be out soon! For CMD-W, we're trying to change how you think about pages to something you "mark as done" as opposed to just "close", and

    If you shift-click a link, it will open it in your split screen! I actually have 4 or 5 work-related workspaces (different features I might be working on, one for Kanban board), I have two for personal (1 for DnD, 1 for Youtube videos), and

    Can't change your mind on that. I can only tell you that your session data is yours alone, and that we will never monetise our users' data. Free browsers typically make their money from search engine royalties. Users will only pay

    Thanks! Yes, we're full native using SwiftUI and WebKit :D Windows port will be a problem for future me, both fortunately and unfortunately.

    Thanks! It's based on WebKit directly. We definitely want to support Windows and Linux eventually, but for now we're focusing on MacOS.

    We're a small team, and we've focused on MacOS for now. But we'll start building for other operating systems as soon as we can!
