Show HN: An OSS browser and work environment for humans and agents

A developer released Zephium, an open-source browser and work environment built in Rust on a forked Wry WebView, sized at 40 MB and not a Chromium fork, with native adblocking via a forked adblock-rust and support for major Chrome extensions. Zephium adds a "Work mode" canvas where users and AI agents browse, research and build together, with live browser sessions and parallel sub-agents, and AI can be disabled in one click; the browser ships with no telemetry and supports bring-your-own-key and local models. The project was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN with 1 point and 0 comments.
