It's good, I like that it's WebKit based & that you can set a number of search engines as default.1. I would like it to have these things: 2. dark mode for web pages3. Ability to set a homepage4. Swipe up to see tabs

There’s a difference between minimal and straight up incomplete. This is not useable as a daily driver. No profiles, tab groups, folders in favorites, customizable home url, custom search engine url, search history, reader mode, font size. Also the iPadOS ui looks like an iPhone app just stretched without accounting for the bigger screen. I know this is not supposed to be a browser that will compete with the likes of Chrome or FireFox or even Safari, but please if you want to reach your goal of one million downloads you have to make apps that are at least compelling to use even on the side.
