Glide is an extensible, keyboard-focused web browser built as a fork of Firefox, with modal Vim-like keymaps, a TypeScript configuration API, and web extension support. It is in alpha and maintained primarily by a single developer.
Use cases
- browse the web entirely with the keyboard like Vim
- configure browser behavior with TypeScript code
- fuzzy search and switch between open tabs
- override keymaps and settings per website
- follow links with keyboard hints instead of the mouse
- browse Gemini protocol sites
- use a Firefox-based browser with deep extension-level integration
When to choose
- you want a Vimium/Tridactyl-style experience with deeper integration than an extension can offer
- you like Firefox and want keyboard-first navigation with modal keymaps
- you enjoy tinkering and configuring software through code
- you need site-specific keymaps or settings
When to avoid
- you need a stable, polished daily-driver browser (Glide is in alpha)
- you prefer GUI-based configuration over code
- you are uncomfortable running a browser maintained by a single person
- you don't like Firefox
