I think I like the idea, but the structure of the code doesn't look the best. What most sticks out to me is the "Managers" directory. I've seen similar patterns before, even at my current place of work, but they seem to correlate with less experienced implementations. For instance, I clicked on one of them randomly and already found an issue: https://github.com/nook-browser/Nook/blob/09a4c6957a2e9fd7c5...

I guess `www.` (and only `www.`) is always special, and the only TLDs with two components are `"co.uk", "co.jp", "com.au", "co.nz", "com.br"`?

I don't know how critical this "Manager" is (what even is a "boost"?), but a web browser should absolutely have a proper list of TLDs!

Both the browser and the website look remarkably similar to https://zen-browser.app/.

Because both are trying to be response to the death of Browser Company's Arc. (https://arc.net)

Is this sarcasm? The public suffix list will give some ideas for omissions: https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat

Opera 10 was getting into some wild stuff. 9 was obviously just winning. But I loved how 10 literally gave you the user your own endpoints on the web. The browser is the server (by way of proxy)! Massively inspirational decentralization. https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/opera-unite.html

I will admit to you that Brave historically had many problems with bad behavior:

The lobste.rs site has taken hostile speps towards Brave:

https://lobste.rs/s/iopw1d/what_s_up_with_lobste_rs_blocking...

Still, Brave does offer a few unique advantages.

- it is equivalent to Chrome on sites that require it, and does not have the compatibility problems of Firefox

- Ad block is built in

- it is easily available if you are not running Play and GMS

- it is a mature browser, where most everything works as expected

- the bad aesthetic choices that have been introduced to Brave so far are easily undone

No, it's not perfect, but there are use cases.
