This build contains known UI bugs. Please read the information below before installing

👋 Welcome

You may be a little confused as to why this is the latest build. Dot Browser is currently undergoing a complete rewrite of the frontend. Keeping up with updating patches for newer Firefox versions became near to impossible, so we've decided to rewrite the whole frontend of the browser. Because of this, we've paused builds until we have something a little more stable.

We hope you understand, and we are hoping to get some builds released very shortly!

💁 Information

This is a Nightly build meaning you will encounter bugs and things that don't seem right. If you ever come across a bug in a nightly build, please open an issue on our bug tracker.
