Unsure what this is contributing to the conversation.
It’s similar to a bunch of naive HN commenters trivializing work our peers do by suggesting they can build out every startup in a weekend.
The creators of the product have responded in a couple of places about what separates this from a skin, and honestly I think it’s great software design where the complexity is abstracted away from the end user.

Just like Safari and Chrome. What have you built?

They did not implement a browser engine, akin to a Linux kernel, sure, but to be fair some Linux distros just add pre-installed tools or removal thereof.

And that's why we call them distros instead of separate operating systems.

We also implemented the logic with the Spaces and a caching system. Was more work than just a fresh skin.

I think you're burying the lede. You do finally mention, in the seventh paragraph, that your problem with existing browsers is that you have too many tabs. Your solution, apparently, is "spaces", a word mentioned zero times in the article -- just the name Space Browser, and no suggestion of how spaces work.
It would be more interesting to discuss the UX factors and why you think that is a sufficient diffentiator from existing browsers. Just "I wrote a browser and I hope it competes" is a far less interesting story.
