Min is a fast, minimal open-source web browser built in JavaScript (Electron) that emphasizes privacy and focus. It blocks ads and trackers, offers full-text search of visited pages, tab grouping via Tasks, reader view, and bookmark tagging.
Use cases
- browse the web without ads and trackers
- a distraction-free minimal browser
- search the full text of pages I've visited locally
- group tabs into tasks to stay organized
- a lightweight privacy-focused alternative to Chrome
- read articles in a clean reader view
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, privacy-respecting browser with built-in ad and tracker blocking
- you need local full-text search over your browsing history
- you prefer a minimal, distraction-free interface with tab grouping
- you want an open-source browser you can build and extend yourself
When to avoid
- you need extensive extension ecosystem support like Chrome or Firefox
- you require enterprise features, sync across devices, or developer tooling parity with mainstream browsers
- you need the strictest sandboxing and security guarantees of a major browser engine
