V's main draw is absurd vaporware claims.

So no source yet, only the HN demo render. I might pay attention when the open source is published and can at least pass Acid3 tests and works on all the site I visit, not only the simplest one.

It is surprising the amount of claims (well, future promises) on here for a project that is clearly getting off the ground.
Compare it to Ladybird's [0], where it is nice and simple. They're building a browser, but they're not ready yet. There's no claims as to the future.
It should already be cool enough that you're building a brand new web engine. There is no need for claims about performance, ad blocking or vertical tabs, when you're nowhere near there.
