breached_

A light, keyboard-first browser for Windows.

Firefox's engine, a much smaller browser around it. No telemetry, idle tabs sleep, and the big extras are mods you add only if you want them.

Keyboard first

Press : and type: :open, :reader, :pin, :private. The mouse still works.

Tabs that sleep

Tabs you haven't used for 15 minutes free their memory and reload when you come back.

Nothing phoning home

No telemetry, studies, sponsored tiles or account nagging.

Real extensions

Firefox extensions from addons.mozilla.org, including the full uBlock Origin.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no subscription, no ads. The code is on GitHub.

Why does Windows warn me when I install it?

Releases aren't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen doesn't know the publisher. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Signing through the SignPath Foundation is on its way, see the code signing policy.

Is it Firefox?

It runs on Mozilla's own signed Firefox engine, so pages work as they do in Firefox. Everything around the page is Breached's own.

Do Netflix and Spotify play?

Yes, with the Protected video mod. Breached offers it the first time a site needs it.

How do I update?

Type :update or open settings > Updates. Breached also checks once a day.
