The landing page looks nice but has a lot of hand-wavy claims. For instance,

> Your Internet speed while using Mighty is over 1 Gbps.

How's that work if it isn't?

> 2 more hours to stay in flow

How are you going to improve my battery life by that much when I run a 4K monitor that makes it impossible?

It's also full of claims that would be labeled as [citation required] if it was on Wikipedia.

> uses 10x less memory

Where are the profiles? Where's the network timing graph?

You can get most of the way there by using Auto Tab Discard.



>> Your Internet speed while using Mighty is over 1 Gbps. > How's that work if it isn't?

They mean your mighty instance is connected to the sites you're browsing over a fast link to the web servers, essentially. They're trying to colocate with a lot of the big sites in datacenters in order to get the best round trip times and bandwidth to those sites.

But yeah your own _personal_ internet speed needs to at least be able to handle a 4K60 video stream.

The whole concept is still incredibly wasteful and dystopian, but the part about your speeds when connected to the sites over mighty makes some sense.
