It is recommended on Slant.co but I cannot get it past Microsoft
Defender.
There is a functional description here. It builds a browser out
of the WEBVIEW2 (MSEDGE) engine already installed on the machine.

If Microsoft does not like it, any software can develop a "designation"
in Windows Defender. Whether it is deserved or not.
Your call as to whether you make an exclusion for it.

Thanks. No wonder it is fast if it has no extensions.
Not sure I could do without those I use, just to be faster even if it is secure, but too secure for Defender?
Microsoft provides lame examples of "how they expected our offering to be used".
When a creative developer just pulls out the wheel chocks and drives
it at 150 miles per hour, at least one management person at Microsoft
will say "see, I told you so" :-)
It's meant for casual sharing of web content from within a Metro App.
Like maybe displaying the background image in the original Groove Music player.
To turn it into a browser, why, even I thought of that, and how
Microsoft would squash someone like a bug for doing that. I figured
it would take a winget sideload to get away with such
a thing. As you might not get approval to stick such an application
in the Metro Store.
But I'm just guessing here, and maybe that's what Microsoft wanted
all along.
