Conflict of interests at its heart.

I mean, I have no skin in the game but I mean, there are people who are using Dia (browser company) and Dia is closed source so it would be nice to see those people jumping to browser OS atleast.

I personally would prefer it as an extension but there are some limitations as the author of browserOS noted within extensions but I just wish that google/chromium can push those changes upstream I guess.

Thank you for your support! Yes, we want to do some cool things that we can't do as extension.

C++ APIs for dom tree, a11y. We eventually want to ship a small fine-tuned LLM and package with browser binary too.

Just getting started!
