A closer look

Everything in its place.

An endless canvas

Pages sit side by side instead of hiding behind tabs. Split them into halves, thirds or quarters.

  • Alt+Shift+D splits 50/50
  • Scroll past the end for a new card
  • Drag cards to reorder

Make it yours

Ten gentle tints.

A soft wash over the frosted glass, never a paint job. Pick one below: these are real screenshots.

No colour

Also: dark or light, Acrylic, Mica or Solid, and your Windows accent colour.

Why JBrowser

Calm by design.

Endless canvas

Pages side by side, not hidden in tabs.

Isolated spaces

Separate logins for work, home and everything else.

The Gallery

Every card at a glance, across every space.

Keyboard first

One box for sites, searches and commands.

Private by default

Ads, trackers and scam sites blocked.

Light on memory

Idle cards sleep. Music and calls never do.

Open source

Nothing hidden.

Every line of JBrowser is public on GitHub. Anyone can read how it works, check what it sends, build it themselves or suggest a change. It's free under the GNU GPL, and it stays that way.

Read every line

The whole browser is on GitHub, with guides for every part.

Checked downloads

Every release is built from its public code and has a published fingerprint.

Free, for good

Made by a small team, not an ad company. The GPL keeps it free.
