Such a great app!

This browser is very good at privacy, searching and all the other things you’d expect a browser to have! One issue I have with it is the AI tools and crypto coins added. Really don’t see the vision there. Good browser though.

Great app with small suggestion for Lefties

Small suggestion. When holding and opening a new tab, the bottom switch button. Could it possibly be moved to the center of the bar to accommodate both left and right handed people?
