> only available for Mac so far, sorry!

Is there a plan to change this? Building on Electron should make it manageable to go cross-platform. 2026 will be the year of the Linux desktop, as the prophecies have long foretold.

Off-topic, but Kernel refers to https://www.onkernel.com. A bit of an awkward name

Yes! Going cross-platform is on the roadmap, but right now we're focused on building out the feature set and improving the form factor.

Also yeah, Kernel refers to onkernel - they call it that because they're running the browsers in a unikernel. They're a great product and you should give them a look if you need hosted browsers!

Why would something be only available for Mac? What are they using?

In the early stage of a startup/product the most important thing is usually fast development loops, to add features and, most importantly, figure out what the product needs to be. It usually makes sense to focus on that, which means deferring later projects (such as porting to other platforms) which are also important, but aren't part of the figuring-out-the-product loop and so can come later.

This of course is frustrating for users who want the product but aren't using that platform. But also a good sign that someone wants the product enough to complain about this!
