arabinum|the search engine that turns results into social feed

Have you ever felt that browsing the web has become "tiring"? We open a browser, search, close a page, then move to another... a dizzying cycle of distracted navigation between sites, while we are essentially looking for "knowledge," not "links."

I asked myself: What if browsing was as fluid as scrolling through Facebook, but with the power and accuracy of search engines like Google?

I finally decided to turn this idea into reality through my new project, Arabinum.

What does Arabinum do?

Turning websites into posts: The browser reformats the web so that content appears as fluid feeds, eliminating visual distraction.
Smart categorization: No more getting lost; I have divided content into specialized sections like "Videos" and "Research Papers," so you can find what you need in one place.
Browsing as a social activity: I added interactive features (Like, Comment, Repost) to make content consumption a collaborative experience rather than a rigid, individual process.
I believe the web needs an interface that restores the user's focus, and this project is my attempt to merge the best of the worlds of "Search" and "Social Media."

Notes:

This is a beta version I launched just to see your thoughts on the idea.
This version might not be compatible with small screens yet.
This version includes Google Search, YouTube, and scientific papers from arXiv.
I look forward to hearing your opinions. The site is free and ad-free, but I need your support to continue due to API and domain costs.
I am sixteen years old and a high school student.

Finally, I present to you my browser, Arabinum: https://arabinum.amrzlabs.com
