## What it is
broz is a minimal, frameless Electron-based browser designed for taking clean screenshots of web pages. It is launched from the command line with a URL and displays the page in a borderless window.

## Use cases
- take clean screenshots of a website without browser chrome
- capture a frameless screenshot of a webpage
- display a site in a minimal borderless window
- quickly preview a URL without opening a full browser
- screenshot a webpage for documentation or social sharing

## When to choose
