In plain words

OMEGA is a lightweight 3.6MB browser for macOS that prioritizes speed and privacy. Built with Swift and WebKit, it opens in under a second and blocks trackers at the network level while resisting fingerprinting techniques. The browser includes Amnesia Mode for RAM-only browsing that leaves no trace, a Nuke button to clear all site data instantly, and neutralizes YouTube ads. It does not track users, profile their behavior, or sell data.

From the sources

OMEGA: an ultra-fast, security-first 3.6 MB native browser for macOS built on Apple architecture with Swift + WebKit. Opens in under a second, blocks trackers at the network level, fights fingerprinting, and refuses the surveillance economy. YouTube ads get neutralized. Amnesia Mode browses in RAM, leaves no trace, and disappears on quit. Hit Nuke to wipe cookies, cache, history, and site data. No profiling. No data brokerage. Just speed. Browse light. Browse free.

3.6 MB on disk. Launches in under a second. Native macOS. Zero tracking, zero profiling, zero data brokerage. Just browse.

Maximum privacy. Zero tracking, zero profiling, zero data brokerage. Zero bullshit. OMEGA blocks the internet's nonsense by default — so you're free to just browse. Most browsers monetize you. OMEGA refuses the deal. It's built to never share your browsing behavior with third parties — instead, it blocks them. The trackers don't get a seat at the table, because the door is locked. A clean native shell that drives the WebKit engine already living on your Mac. No universe to download. Modern browsers ship a whole engine inside the app. That's why they're huge, hot, and hungry. OMEGA ships a tiny native shell and drives the engine that's already on your Mac — less disk, faster launch, lower…from omega.bz

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
