Installer, GitHub Releases and verified auto-update.

›Built a 1.9 MB native C++ shell on the Windows Edge WebView2 runtime, with no bundled engine and no Electron.
›Engineered end-to-end-encrypted account sync with AES-256-GCM, so the server stores only ciphertext.
›Implemented a network-level ad and popup blocker with cosmetic CSS filtering and a live blocked counter.
›Built an importer for bookmarks, history and saved logins from Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Firefox.
›Shipped auto-updates from GitHub Releases with SHA-256 verification and silent install.
