This has to be among the least informative landing pages I've seen yet. Vague marketing woo, giant hero images, scroll hijacking, sound effects, and zero screenshots.
They literally have a sliding section taking up significant scroll height that's dedicated to our solar system, and when I clicked one of the planets, expecting it to maybe reveal a usage example—I did actually get a full spiel about Mars, still with no hint of the product.

Anyone know how they are building this? Is it a fork of chromium?

Good luck with that. Chrome on steroids.
