Hi HN. I have always liked the idea of browsing with structured tabs. It’s sad there are very few implementations of this, and none on iOS before to my knowledge.

Even though making another WKWebView based browser is somewhat questionable, I included many features to make the experience smooth—iCloud sync, iPad multitasking/multiwindow, AdBlock, drag and drop, and more.

This is also my SwiftUI + Combine tryout project. It worked very well for me, despite the many quirks & performance degradation with larger views that required specific optimization.

It is still somewhat experimental at this stage, especially that it does not handle asynchronously loaded pages very well. But it’s something nice I made for myself, and I thought to share with everyone, totally free and no ads or tracking whatsoever.

(UI/UX work much nicer on iPad because that’s my use case I optimized for)
