Fifo is a modern web browser, built on top of modern web technologies such as Electron
and React
, that can also be used as a framework to create a custom web browser (see the License section). It's a more, optimized, more updated fork of Wexond.
Building a custom browser would be way to hard, therefor, we forked Wexond as our base, we are theng going to extend from there.
- Fifo Anti - Browse the web without any ads and don't let websites to track you. Thanks to the 'Fifo Anti' powered by Cliqz, websites can load even 8 times faster!
- Chromium without Google services and low resources usage - Since Wexond uses Electron under the hood which is based on only several and the most important Chromium components, it's not bloated with redundant Google tracking services and others.
- Fast and fluent UI - The animations are really smooth and their timings are perfectly balanced.
- Highly customizable new tab page - Customize almost an every aspect of the new tab page!
- Customizable browser UI - Choose whether Wexond should have compact or normal UI.
- Tab groups - Easily group tabs, so it's hard to get lost.
- Scrollable tabs
- Partial support for Chrome extensions - Install some extensions directly from Chrome Web Store* (see #110) (WIP)
- Downloads popup with currently downloaded items (download manager WebUI page is WIP)
- History manager
- Bookmarks bar & manager
- Settings
- Find in page
- Dark and light theme
- Omnibox with autocomplete algorithm similar to Chromium
- State of the art tab system
