⇧⌘L
Reading

Strip the page, keep the words

Reading mode, hide any element, float the video when you leave the tab. The shortcuts stay out of the chrome until you need them.

Tabs

Top, bottom, or down the side

A strip or a column you can tuck away. Spaces if you want separate sets of tabs. Sleep idle ones without losing your place.

⇧⌘S

On this Mac

Browsing stays here.

No Kenos account. No analytics package of ours. History and bookmarks sit in Application Support; passwords in the keychain. The only calls Kenos makes for itself are update checks, optional filter-list refreshes, and SponsorBlock lookups when that feature is on — written down in the privacy policy.
