The browser code is written on JavaScript and is distributed under the GPLV3 license. The WEBKITGTK component, also used in the Epiphany (Gnome Web) browser, is involved as a browser engine. Ready -made packages are format in the format flutpak . Performance of constantly used Web applications and Web services.

A new adaptive user interface is proposed, which is adjusted to the screens of any size and has a mode for mobile devices.
