  <h1>Theseus <span class="g">Navigator</span></h1>
  <p class="tag">A Chromium-based browser that resolves Bitcoin&nbsp;Cash names on the
    device itself. No OS-level daemon, no DNS shim, no root-store install. Type
    <code>silentmode.bch</code>, get the on-chain answer, see which registry &amp;

<section id="what">
  <h2>What it is</h2>
  <p class="lede">Theseus is a browser built around the assumption that names should
     be resolved by the person using them, not by an intermediary. It ships an
     embedded resolver (Ariadne) that watches the Bitcoin Cash chain directly and answers
     name lookups locally — the app <i>is</i> both the browser and the resolver.
     Every page carries a badge showing which registry produced the record
     (BCNR, ICANN) and which backend served the bytes (on-chain, Sia, direct IP,
     or a plain HTTPS fallback).</p>
  <div class="grid">
    <div class="card">
      <h3><span class="dot d-chain"></span> On-chain first</h3>
      <p>Every dotted host is asked of BCNR before anything else. If the chain
        answers, that answer wins — no matter what any DNS operator says. If
        BCNR has no record, Theseus falls through to the clearnet.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="card">
      <h3><span class="dot d-sia"></span> Trust one thing</h3>
      <p>The app is the trust boundary. No daemon, no root cert, no proxy in the
        middle. Uninstall it and BCNR is gone from that machine — nothing lingers
        in the OS.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="card">
      <h3><span class="dot d-srv"></span> Warm from the first click</h3>
      <p>A bundled beacon snapshot loads before the first navigation can fire; a
        background delta refresh keeps the index current every 30&nbsp;s; a Sia
        snapshot pull on boot catches long-idle installs up in one HTTP call.</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</section>

<section id="features">
  <h2>What's inside</h2>
  <p class="lede">Everything a mainstream browser has, plus what the chain enables.</p>
  <div class="grid">
    <div class="card">
      <h3>Native BCNR</h3>
      <p>Type a name, get the on-chain record. <code>h</code> serves from the chain,
        <code>s3</code> from Sia storage, <code>ip</code> direct-connects, <code>u</code>
        redirects. TLS fingerprint pinning against the on-chain <code>tls</code> record
        for <code>ip</code> hops.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="card">
      <h3>window.bcnr API</h3>
      <p>Every page can call <code>window.bcnr.resolveName(…)</code>,
        <code>isRegistered(…)</code>, <code>getBcnrTlds()</code>, and
        <code>getRecordVersion(…)</code>. dApps don't need to ship their own resolver.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="card">
      <h3>Password manager</h3>
      <p>Local vault, deterministic derivation from a BIP-39 seed. Same seed on a
        different device produces the same passwords. Autofill on demand — never
        watches the page for you.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="card">
      <h3>Tor toggle</h3>
      <p>One click routes everything through a bundled Tor client — pluggable
        transports included for hostile networks. Off by default; nothing is
        proxied without your say-so.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="card">
      <h3>Anti-fingerprinting</h3>
      <p>Timezone / locale / language / geolocation can be shown, hidden, spoofed
        with a plausible decoy, or set manually. Media-device labels blanked by
        default so <code>enumerateDevices</code> can't leak an audiooutput ID.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="card">
      <h3>Privacy by default</h3>
      <p>Cookies, cache, storage, and history clear on quit unless you opt in.
        Camera and microphone denied by default. WebRTC IP policy set to
        public-only.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="card">
      <h3>System-wide, optional</h3>
      <p>Theseus's resolver is in-process by default — nothing else on the
        machine is touched. The Windows installer offers <b>Ariadne's Thread</b>
        as a recommended-on checkbox: one click also installs a system-wide
        resolver so Chrome, Edge, and every other browser resolve BCNR too.
        Uninstalling Theseus asks whether to remove it. Skip the checkbox and
        Theseus is still fully self-contained.</p>
