## What is Scry.exe?

SCRY.EXE // RETRO TERMINAL WEB BROWSER
======================================

Step into a vintage cyber-command console. Scry.exe combines 80s/90s CRT hacker aesthetics with modern, ultra-fast web browsing utilities. Take control of your web traffic using keyboard shortcuts, terminal commands, and custom retro color schemes.

COMMAND-LINE NAVIGATION
----------------------
Forget clicking around. Navigate the web like a system administrator:
• Use custom routing commands (e.g., type "/gh swiftui" to query GitHub instantly).
• Set up your own custom search engines and routing prefixes.
• Tap into built-in terminal shortcuts for high-speed browsing.

ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT TEXT-ONLY MODE
--------------------------------
• Activate Scry Text-Only mode (Lynx-style) to strip pages down to raw text and code.
• Drastically save data, bypass bloated web layouts, and read articles in clean monospaced layout.

BUILT-IN AD BLOCKER
-------------------
• Navigate cleanly without tracking pixels, cookie pop-ups, or invasive advertisements.
• Browse with local sandboxed privacy—zero data leaves your device.

CUSTOM THEME CREATOR
--------------------
• Build and save your own retro color schemes (Matrix Green, Amber Glass, Cyberpunk Pink, Deep Blue).
• Fully customize foregrounds, backgrounds, and accent borders.
• Live interactive terminal previews as you design.

KEY FEATURES:
• Dynamic Scroll-to-Tab Switcher grid with active tab centering.
• Offline local-first database (bookmarks, history, commands).
• Smooth native edge-swipe back/forward transitions.
• Tactile haptic feedback loops.
• Deep system reset triggers with custom wipe sequence animation.
