Frequently Asked Questions
Which version should I download?
Download Stable if you just want basic .xlm domain access and don't need wallet integration. Download Beta if you want to connect to Stellar dApps with built-in Freighter wallet - this is the major upgrade!
Does the stable version have Freighter?
No. The stable version (v1.0.0) does NOT have Freighter built-in. You'd need to manually integrate Freighter. Only the Beta version has Freighter wallet integrated natively.
How do I connect to Stellar dApps?
With the Beta version, just visit any Stellar dApp (like StellarTerm.com or laboratory.stellar.org) and click "Connect Wallet" - Freighter is already built-in! With the stable version, you'd need to manually integrate Freighter separately.
How do I use .xlm domains?
In both versions, simply type the domain in the address bar: yourname.xlm. The browser automatically resolves it through the Stellar blockchain and loads the associated IPFS content or website via URL.
What's the difference in search engines?
Stable uses Google search (familiar). Beta uses Ecosia search (privacy-first, plants trees). Both work great - just different philosophies.
Can I run both versions at the same time?
Yes! Both browsers can be installed side-by-side. They use separate data directories and won't interfere with each other.
Is Beta stable enough for daily use?
The Beta is in active testing. The Freighter integration works well on major dApps (StellarTerm, Stellar Laboratory, StellarX), but expect occasional updates and minor bugs as we refine it.
