This question could be improved by phrasing the query as an open-ended question such as e.g. "How can I use Sovryn if I use Bitcoin Core as my wallet?".

Does Sovryn really not allow you to use it if you use Bitcoin Core?

This is apparently what Sovryn consists of. Not a downloadable application, but a website. It's very confusing, and so is its FAQ.

When I click the "Engage Wallet" button, it pops up a choice between:

1. "Browser Wallet".
2. "Mobile Wallet".
3. "Hardware Wallet" (disabled/greyed out).

Where is the "desktop wallet"? How do I use Bitcoin Core with this thing? Why would it support only "browser wallets"? I didn't even know that such a thing existed.

I keep hearing all these fantastic claims, but then when I try to actually use it, it's just... vapor? Fluff? Or am I once again missing something that you all understand?
