"a fast, minimal browser [...] written entirely with CSS and JavaScript using Electron" - That sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Electron used to be much worse than it is right now. The project matured a lot. That being said, there still are some things to improve.

Like startup time. I looked at a white window for a solid 5 seconds before any UI elements were painted. That's on the latest 16" Apple MacBook Pro.

On the other hand, if you really like this browser, that may not matter. This week, I read about a new version of Firefox. So I closed it, and found out I had my browser running so long that Firefox needed to update twice.
