    It's a web page: open it, bookmark it, use it. Works the same in Chrome, Edge and Brave.

  2. Tabs, like Chrome

    Open several files and switch between them, and they're still there next time.

  3. Read and edit

    Tables, code, task lists and callouts render as you read, and you can edit any of them.
