Litzium is a desktop web browser built on top of Electron and Chromium. It uses Electron's WebContentsView API to manage independent tab instances, a custom frameless window with native Windows controls, and a suite of built-in litzium:// pages for settings, history, bookmarks, and developer tooling.
