The goal is building a browser where Bitcoin/Lightning/Nostr are first-class citizens instead of depending on dozens of extensions.

Main additions in v0.4.0-beta:

• native lightning:/lnurl:/cashu: protocol handling
• built-in NIP-07 signer
• per-site Nostr permissions center
• bookmark folders + management
• native downloads panel
• download cancellation
• local-first encrypted storage
• Balanced Shields privacy baseline
• reduced aggressive DOM/site breakage

One architectural change I’m particularly happy with:
the browser no longer publishes or signs Nostr metadata updates automatically. It behaves as a local signer only.

Still beta software, but the project is becoming much closer to a real sovereign browser workflow instead of an experiment.
