I hate you...Jk. I only say that because I designed a mobile browser with minimal UI a few years ago. What you're doing looks awesome.
Question. I have three tabs open. How do I close one tab?
@vladzima@stephenmarklevi Nice interaction but that really needs to be made clearer to the user, and it's probably not that intuitive at all for those that use a regular mouse rather than a touchpad.

The browser market has been pretty boring, with options like this and Vivaldi, things are looking better.
@demattia Tried hard to like Vivaldi and gave it plenty of time, but it didn't make me Satisfy.. It felt like I'm using Google Chrome with a custom theme and some extra extension. Nothing exciting or special about it to make me switch. Brave on the other hand looks good though start using it few days ago. I'll give this one a shot.

@demattia I've been using Vivaldi for about a week now, and it's generally a pretty good experience. I wish we could import/export settings, and there are a few quirks that need to be addressed, or at least grown accustomed to, having used Chrome for so long, but it's a fast browser. With lots of nice options, and after some setup and customization, Vivaldi works and looks very nice.
I don't see any information about web standards or anything technical. The last thing we need is more fractured applications that all treat my client code differently.
Looks interesting, but a bit more background would be appreciated. I'm looking at the description that says Javascript and css based. I'm looking at the size of the download. I'm thinking, maybe it's Electron based. It would be nice to know these things.
@frassmith it's open source. Check the code. It's Electron.

@chrismessina Thanks, I finally got it downloaded and worked that out. The Chinese interwebs aren't too great on Friday evenings. First impressions are that it's, well, yes, minimalist, almost to the extent of being difficult to use. It also seems to be particularly slow to load pages compared to Chrome - maybe just the China effect again. I think if I was to switch to one of the new crop of browsers, I'd probably opt for, the decidedly un-minimalist, Vivaldi.

I really like the simplicity and how the tab bar inherits the colour of the web page.
The tabbing requires a bit of work, it's pretty difficult to see which tab you're using.

At first – I was really excited! Design and minimal approach – fantastic. But soon I had to CMD+Q Min. The product contains various bugs and obviously is WIP. It suddenly zooms out pages while user scrolls, it considers some pages on Basecamp malicious (wow), it has problems with cookies to the stage where I can't login to some apps at all. Great idea and a solid basis, but looks like beta and needs much polishing towards a final state.

Love where this is heading, the design style is great. I could totally see myself using this as a daily browser. It must be based on Chromium somehow because I see it has the Chrome dev tools available which is great! Just needs a bit more work on UX and it'll be there.
My biggest concern though would be around how this performs as a browser overall. Using a JS based app to display JS seems a bit weird to me. I just can't see it performing that well. And my experience using Atom, if this browser is based on Electron, is that it really just doesn't perform that well.
