    Native Alpha turns websites into borderless webapps with per-site settings, sandboxing, biometric locks, and optional adblock. It’s lightweight, great for PWAs, and the experimental force-dark plus site-specific cookie/JS controls feel power-user friendly. Performance and memory are solid compared to full browsers. Android 15+ compatibility issues can break typing on some sites. Overall neat for users who want granular webapp control.
