## Product Overview
A fundamental step in supporting the developer ecosystem is to ensure that any existing DApp loads and is operable in the Status browser.
Users:
1. Developers who want to develop a new HTML DApp for Ethereum from scratch
2. Developers of existing HTML DApps that work on desktop with Metamask
3. Users exploring DApps in Status
There are a number of bugs preventing this currently. In addition to resolving any known issues, we will provide support for the web3.js library.
### Product Description
Developers testing on Status should find that any mobile-optimized HTML DApp is compatible.
Users can load, log in to, and transact inside any DApp using the Status browser.
