Lumo is a sidebar browser: your tabs, pinned sites, folders and Spaces sit in one sidebar on the left, a swipe from one Space to the next. It is made for phones, tablets and foldables: full desktop sites on a tablet, mobile pages with the controls under your thumb on a phone. Beside the page is an assistant that has already read it: ask it something, or have it do the work.
