 it would be awesome to have a browser focused on bitcoin/lightning/nostr

and also extremely hard work

 we have a bunch of new browsers that niche groups use anyway. brave, librefox, zen, arc, etc

also developing on top of the chromium embedded framework, or tauri which provides an interface over the system's webview, shouldn't be too hard... right? 🧐

 well, if you can do it, someone has to do it... i for sure would switch from brave if it was bitcoin/nostr centric, but otherwise mostly the same (so, basically, removing a lot of stuff mainly, but keeping a few of the distinctive brave bits like sync and anti-tracking bits

 I need to figure out how many hours of effort went into developing Zen, Arc and Brave's initial releases. Also I am just a web developer, don't have much experience messing with CPP code, but I think I have to do it. Don't see anyone else doing it because it's too hard

 When I saw that I thought I'd like one with a slightly different text

We do this not because it's easy, but because we thought it would be cool if someone did it.
