I was kinda shocked to see that it now includes AI as well:

And as a "cherry on top" it also has "web browser":

- You can now configure a profile to be a web browser. In Settings > Profiles > General, set "Profile Type" to "Web Browser". Many existing features already work in browser sessions, such as key bindings, smart selection, navigation, open quickly, focus follows mouse, and the password manager.

Now we only lack a proverbial "sink"

Fascinating how divisive something optional and off-by-default can be

Weird how judgy people are about free passion-project software that has zero costs associated... almost like there's no room to be upset about it, but maybe I just mind my own business.

It may be 'off-by-default'... for now. It simply rubs me the wrong way.

Well, I'm donaiting montly for a couple of years and at this point I guess it accumulated to a non-insignificant ammount so while it's FOSS and I'm not explicitly paying for it so it's not entirely free for me in the grand scheme of things ;)
