The way some people can raise tens of millions on absolute vaporware, in 2023, continues to astonish me.

It’s a fully functioning publicly released product. That’s the opposite of vaporware.
They started raising in 2020 for a browser, a no-hope project in a commoditized consumer market dominated by giants with strong network effects. The software might not be vapor but the money will definitely be.
Opera Browser had revenues of $87mm last quarter. You and I might get buy with Chrome for free, but it's not zero hope.
