Awesome! Thank you for sharing. Here’s a tiny little feature idea I’ve always wanted: when a link opens a new tab, the back button should close the tab and take you back where you were!

Congratulations on launching!

(For what it’s worth, Safari on iOS does that)
Absolutely! That's something I would like to implement as well.
It does, but it’s really quirky! Any browser getting it right without so many weird quirks would be a compelling option for me.
In addition, it would be great if after going back that way there would be a way to go forward again (= undo the going back and closing the tab), in particular if the tab one has returned to has no other forward history. I frequently miss this in Safari.
