This project will never make it past alpha, nor will it receive any bug fixes or new features that do not directly affect me (@trickypr). I am putting my energy towards a project using a different approach. For a rough guide to my reasoning, see this Mastodon post.
An experimental Firefox fork that enhances focus and increases work productivity due to its Hyper minimalistic UI and built-in tools.

We (Pulse-Browser developers) support building open source software personally for security and comfort reasons. Although this is an option, we also have prebuilt installers available on our Releases page.
For bug reports, support, and just having a friendly chat with the team, feel free to join the discord at https://discord.gg/xNkretH7sD or create an issue on the GitHub repository.
