Better support for blob:// downloads ✦ “Open in Browser” detects all browsers (not just default) ✦ On pressing the back button, go to the start page first (instead of exiting) if the Lite App was opened directly to a deep link

BETTER THAN TRADITIONAL BROWSERS COMPARE HERMIT WITH TRADITIONAL BROWSERS https://hermit.chimbori.com/features/compare • Each Lite App opens in its own permanent window, not a new browser tab each time • Links clicked in other apps can be opened directly in Hermit Lite Apps • Settings, permissions, themes & icons are saved separately for each Lite App • Share links from other Android apps to your Lite Apps SANDBOXES: MULTIPLE PROFILES / CONTAINERS Hermit is the only Android browser with Sandboxes: Isolated Containers with Multiple Profiles. • Sandboxes keep your Web browsing isolated in separate containers • Use multiple accounts, all active at the same time, in the same browser • Keep work accounts and personal accounts separate • Ideal for privacy-invasive social sites • Use permanent Incognito Mode for sites that offer free content to new users ADVANCED BROWSER FOR POWER USERS It takes a bit of learning & understanding to use Hermit effectively — We’re here to help!

# Design Brief: Gradient Glow (with Soft & Friendly)

Luminous radial glows and translucent glass panels, widely used across modern AI products.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ff665f;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #202431;
  --muted-foreground: #667080;
  --accent: #347cf2;
  --radius: 9999px;
  --font-heading: "Nunito Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Nunito Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FF665F (~48%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~24%) · Text #202431 (~12%) · Muted Text #667080 (~8%) · Accent #347CF2 (~8%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Minimal Logo + Action
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Pill; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Gradient Glow (Light canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and pure typography & geometry visuals.

## Avoid

- Muddy low-contrast text over gradients
- Overuse of full-screen rainbow backgrounds
- Cluttered dense tables in the hero

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
