When taking on new contributors, you'll need to be headstrong with regard to which features you see as superfluous. You'll get a lot of feedback like "Whaat, no X? A browser has to have X!" and you'll end up with a Chrome-like UI if you give in to everyone's demands. For me, that would be the address bar, because I like to make sure I'm on the right page (rather than a phishing clone) when entering account credentials, but you probably have a good reason for excluding it and need to stand your ground :).
One bit of feedback: You should provide binaries as early as possible so that people can easily try it out and become excited about the project.
Great work, I like it!

Good luck!
Thanks for great feedback!
When designing the address bar I actually have thought about phishing - thanks for reminding me.
Reminds me of the Min-browser. It has a similar goal and is also built with Electron. Perhaps there's some useful stuff for you!

Min actually inspired me to write cargo, because even min ships some features that I did not find myself using.
Is the OP aware that cargo is also the name for quite a few other things? For one the Rust package manager is named cargo.
I did realize that, but since cargo is a normal English word I did not bother.
I did a double take when I initially read the name, thinking it was a minimal browser _for_ Cargo packages.
