Just wanted to show some appreciation for WebLibre. I don’t see it mentioned much here, and I’ve been really enjoying it.

What stands out most to me is the range of privacy options and the control it gives you over your browsing. Containers with optional cookie isolation are especially useful for keeping different accounts and activities separate, and the integration with uBlock Origin is really well done. Tree tabs are another feature I’m glad to have on a mobile browser.

I really like the design too. It feels genuinely different from the usual Firefox forks. WebLibre uses Gecko, but it isn’t a Firefox fork, and its own UI and approach make it refreshing to use.

Despite having so many useful features, it runs really well for me and keeps getting noticeably better with each update.

Thanks to the developer and everyone contributing. It’s great to have an Android browser doing things differently.

Anyone else here using it?

Hey everyone!

We're really excited to share that Bare Browser is finally available on the Google Play Store!

For those unfamiliar with the project, Bare is a free, open-source Chromium-based browser for Android.

Our goal has always been simple: build a browser that gives users more freedom, customization, and control without unnecessary bloat or telemetry.

Here's what Bare currently offers:

• Full Chrome extension support, including Manifest V2.
• Install extensions directly from CRX files.
• uBlock Origin bundled.
• List view for open tabs.
• Developer Tools
• AMOLED dark mode.
• Long-press videos or images on most social media platforms to download them directly.
• Background video playback.
• Support for external download managers.
• Bitwarden integration and passkey support.
• Bookmark import and export.
• Option to disable websites opening external apps.
• No telemetry, no tracking, no in-app purchases.

And quite a few other features!

Bare has already reached thousands of users on github, which is honestly incredible considering this started as a personal project.

Getting through Google Play's approval process took longer than we expected, but we're finally here! An F-Droid release is on the roadmap too!

Bare is completely free and open source, and we intend to keep it that way.

We'd love for you to give it a try and share your thoughts. What features would you like to see in Bare? What frustrates you most about existing Android browsers?

Thanks to everyone who's supported the project. There's a lot more coming!

I was looking for a browser that feels like Arc and came across two options.

The first one is **Stedding** ([https://stedding.dev/\](https://stedding.dev/)). It clearly tries to follow Arc and has a similar overall feel, but the UI is just slightly off in a way that’s hard to explain.

After asking around in the community, most people didn’t seem to care much about Windows support, so I kept looking and found **Firn Browser** ([https://firnbrowser.com/\](https://firnbrowser.com/)).

When I first tried it, it gave me the exact same feeling as using Arc. It currently lacks extension support and the ad blocker doesn’t work properly, so those need fixing. Still, I think it’s better than Zen and currently the best Arc-like alternative available on Windows.

(All the browsers I mentioned also work on macOS.)

(If there's any better browser for windows feel free to comment)

Thanks for reading.

It would be really helpful if someone tells me the name ...

What are some of the best themes in Chrome web Store

What's your experience? I'm on macOS and iOS by the way.

had 41 tabs open over 3 windows so I added a tab bankruptcy link to the stash popup in my extension (Stackboard, free + open source)

one click saves every tab in every window as normal chrome bookmarks, one stack per window, then closes them and you get the certificate lol. nothing gets deleted, they all sit in a Stash space on the new tab and open again as a tab group

chrome and brave only rn. how many tabs are you all sitting on

I mean it's a cool browser for privacy and you can harden it's security by yourself. It's light and constantly updated as well. Then why do they hate it?

i've been using their residentials for my web scraping setups lately, so i figured i'd check out their browser too. it passes creepjs fine on default settings, but does anyone know if it leaks your upstream client hints when running headless mode on a linux server?

I have tried a lot of browsers (Comet, Opera Neon, Safari, Dia, Zen, SigmaOS, Brave, Edge, Orion) since Arcs downfall and I am currently sticking with these three browsers:

- Opera Neon as agentic browser for answering questions, doing tasks for me and using latest frontier models including Astra, Fable, Opus and Argon (https://www.operaneon.com/)
- Orion for browsing the web on mobile and Mac ad-free and blazingly fast (https://orionbrowser.com)
- Safari for browsing the web on Mac when I am quickly looking something up

hello, guys. I was searching for lighter browsers, and I found this one, it's literally called Light Browser. I've searched about informations here, but seems like no one talked about it. well, I'm making this post to ask if anyone here have informations about it, if it's safe to use. there's something that worries me. they have a github page, but only for release, not the code itself

I'm pretty sure all of you have dealt with the fake buffering on YT when using uBlock Origin and I assumed that there was no way to prevent it. Well, turns out AdGuard is way better. It loads videos instantaneously every single time. I tested this on both Chromium and Firefox, both MV3 and MV2. In every situation AdGuard loaded videos instantly while uBO fell victim to the fake buffering. Just wanted to point this out in case people were interested.

I use the Google AI mode in the Google search bar. Over the past few days, I've noticed a strange text lag. When I type, my keyboard is completely responsive with no delay, but the actual words appear slowly in the chat bar, as if the interface is struggling to keep up or lagging.

This usually only happens when a chat history gets very long, (plus the AI responds slower too) but right now, it is happening on a brand new chat from the very first sentence.

I use Android with Cromite browser.

I am just to see what setup I want. Hope it is not too much burden

I used to use Opera GX, but it got bloaty. Currently on Firefox and it's fine I guess, but it's still 2 gigs on my 16gb machine for YouTube and an inactive RetroAchievements tab.

I use Windows 10, so security is more of a bonus than a requirement (as it is for most people). Sorta just looking for a recommendable browser for the common user that isn't slow or evil.

I was using Arc, but since the Claude extension does not work on it, I’m looking for another browser. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I made these three browser extensions for my personal use to solve a few small annoyances I ran into while browsing. I thought they might be useful to others too, so I decided to publish them.

They are available on Chrome, Edge and Firefox Web Extension Stores.

1. Enable Copy and Right Click
https://github.com/himanshu-mahendra-jain/web-extensions/tree/main/enable-copy-and-right-click

For those times when a website prevents you from selecting or copying text or using the right click menu.

2. Change Video Playback Speed
https://github.com/himanshu-mahendra-jain/web-extensions/tree/main/change-video-playback-speed

Quickly change video and audio playback speed using the toolbar or a keyboard shortcut.

3. Three Finger Tap to Close Tab
https://github.com/himanshu-mahendra-jain/web-extensions/tree/main/three-finger-tap-to-close-tab

My personal favorite, close the current tab with a three finger tap on the touchpad.

If any of these sound useful, I'd really appreciate it if you gave them a try and let me know how they work for you. I'm happy to hear suggestions or feedback, including things that could be improved.

Thanks for taking a look!

I’ve always used browsers like Edge or Brave, but lately, I’ve been hearing about a browser called "Zen." I understand it’s based on Firefox—I used to use Firefox, but it would get slow over time (I’m on Windows), which is why I looked for alternatives and ended up with Brave. Do you think switching to Zen would be a significant change? In terms of performance, is it lighter or heavier than Brave? My usage is not very demanding; at most, I might have 10 tabs open on an unusually busy day.

Ok so first thing, Murky is a browser. Not a VPN, not an extension, not an AI app, not a launcher. It's a normal desktop web browser you install and use for everything, like Chrome or Firefox. Murky is a browser built on Electron/Chromium, so sites render the way you expect. I'm saying it three times on purpose, because I don't want my murky browser searches to be stolen by a random foreign site that just wants to HIJACK my precious search engine results on "murky browser" :).

I've been working on it for a while and it's finally open source (MIT), so here's what it does, including the parts I don't like.

Firstly, It's built on Electron. This makes it slow and ram hungry. I'm hoping to change this soon. This is the feature I HATE the most.

Everything local. It just doesn't save any data, share any data (obviously) and the only data you get, you keep.

A request log. This is the feature I'd want in any browser. Murky keeps a rolling local log of the network requests the browser itself makes, and you can open it and export it as JSON. So you don't have to believe my claims about privacy, you can look. For the record, the browser does talk to a few places: search suggestions, the trending searches on the new tab page, GitHub for update checks, and Hugging Face when it downloads the speech/translation models. All of that shows up in the log.

PRIVACY STUFF THAT'S ON BY DEFAULT

Do Not Track is on, DuckDuckGo is the default search engine (you can switch to Google, Bing, Startpage or Ecosia), and there are two toggles for blocking known ad networks and known trackers/analytics. To be upfront, that's a list of known domains, not a giant filter list. It's a baseline. If you want heavy blocking, load an extension.

There's also a purge button that wipes history, bookmarks, cookies, local storage, service workers and cached web data in one action. It can save a local backup of your settings, history and bookmarks first, so you can bail out of a bad click.

SWITCHING WITHOUT LOSING EVERYTHING

Murky is a browser with an import wizard in the first-run setup. If you ask it to, it copies bookmarks, history, search engines and cookies from another browser installed on the same PC. It handles Chromium-family browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Arc) and Firefox. Cookies get decrypted locally using the OS's own mechanism (DPAPI on Windows) so you stay logged in. The importer makes no network requests. It does NOT import saved passwords, on purpose. I didn't want to be the guy touching that. (And I'll never be probably)

DEVTOOLS

Murky is a browser with its own DevTools panel that docks on the side. It has an elements view where you can read and edit the DOM, a console with command history, resources, storage (view, edit, clear), network, performance, a security tab and a screenshot button. It's lighter than Chrome's, and I'd recommend you use it for quick checks rather than deep profiling.

EXTENSIONS

You can load Chrome-style extensions from a .zip, a .crx or an unpacked folder, pin them to the toolbar and manage them on a page. They get popups, plus tabs, storage, bookmarks, history search and scripting APIs. I'll be honest: not every extension API is implemented, so some extensions will misbehave. Test the ones you can't live without.

CUSTOMIZATION (yaaaaay)

Accent color, background color, or your own background photo. Toolbar size, UI text scale, interface font (I'm not sure if it works though). The whole interface, including popups and overlays, follows your theme. The UI is translated into a bunch of languages (I SWEAR I'M A GENIUS I SWEAR) (German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Turkish...), and you can set a priority order of languages.

Oh, and when you go offline, instead of a dinosaur you get a little fish diving game with jazz playing. Completely unnecessary, and one of my favorite parts. The music is royalty free!! (Content creators, please use my browser !!)

THE HONEST LIMITATIONS

- Murky is a browser on top of Chromium via Electron, not a new engine. It's heavier than a native browser would be.

- Windows is the main build right now (installer + portable). The config has and Linux targets, but I haven't tested them as much.

- The built-in ad/tracker blocking is basic, as I said above.

- It's version 2.0.0, so expect rough edges. Please report them. PLEASEEEE!! Ty

Code is MIT: https://github.com/murkybrowser/Murky-Browser

Updates come from the GitHub releases through an in-app updater. The name and logo are not under the MIT license, so please don't ship a fork pretending to be the official Murky.

If you try it, tell me what broke. And if you've got a "I'd switch browsers if it had X" feature, drop it below. Murky is a browser that's still changing a lot, so I'm listening.

PLEASE DONT HATE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IM A BAD OK?? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE
