Tabs on a rail
A thin strip at any side of the window. Pull its edge for names, turn the wheel over it to go through them.
The etyOS browser · Chromium 152 inside
The web, with nothing in the way.
Netbird gives the window to the page. Tabs keep to a thin rail at the side, the address steps aside as you read, and a shield stops advertising before it loads.

Tabs at the side
The page has the window
An address that knows when to leave.
At rest it stands in a band of its own, coloured like the page beside it, so nothing of the page is ever under it. Scroll down and it goes; the page gets the whole height. Scroll up, or touch the edge, and it is back.
A band the colour of the page
The browser reads the page's own edge and paints its band to match. The page does not look cut off.
No title bar
The window is carried by its top edge. Close, minimise and maximise slide out of one small button.
One card per site
Everything about the site you are on.
Share it, read it without the clutter, translate it, zoom it, see what the shield stopped and what the site may do. One press on the address, no menus to dig through.
- Copy, mail, bookmark, pin to the new tab
- Reading view, translation, find, print, save
- The shield as a switch, per site
- Saved names for this site, filled in with a press
Make it yours
A new tab worth opening.
Still skies, moving ones, pixel art, or a picture of your own. Pick one below.
And a colour for the window.
A tint for the rail, the tabs and the sky. Try one: this page takes it too.
What's inside
Small, and whole.
The things a browser has to have, made to look like one another.
A shield, built in
Advertising and trackers are stopped before they load, by the lists other blockers use. A switch per site for the one that breaks.
Passwords that go in by themselves
Kept in the system's keyring, matched to the whole site, with a list when you have more than one account. Bring them from your old browser.
Extensions from the Chrome Web Store
Install them where you always have. Their buttons live at the foot of the rail.
Private windows
Nothing of what happens in one is written down: no history, no cookies kept, no suggestions sent.
Tabs that sleep
A tab not looked at for forty minutes gives its memory back, and loads again when you return.
Bring everything with you
Passwords, bookmarks and history from Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi, Brave, Edge and Opera, in one press.
Sites ask first
Camera, microphone, location, notifications: asked once, kept per site, taken back in the settings.
