A privacy-focused, extensible and beautiful web browser

Wexond

Wexond is an extensible and privacy-focused web browser with a totally different user experience, built on top of Electron and React. It aims to be fast, private, beautiful, extensible and functional.

Features

• Wexond Shield - Browse the web without any ads and don't let websites to track you. Thanks to the Wexond Shield, websites can load even 2 times faster!
• Built-in dark mode - Wexond has a built-in dark theme, but it also changes white websites to dark with just a one click in Overlay. No eyestrain at night anymore!
• Beautiful and minimalistic UI - The address bar is hidden to take less space, but it doesn't impact on usability in any way. It's even better! Give it a shot
• Tab groups - Easily group tabs to groups and access them really fast.
• Partial support for Chrome extensions - Install some extensions from Chrome Web Store* (see #110)
• Packages - Extend Wexond for your needs, by installing or developing your own packages* (#147) (WIP)
