What Min Browser is

Min Browser is a free, open-source desktop browser for Linux, macOS, and Windows, built on Chromium. It blocks most ads and trackers automatically and includes tools aimed at reducing distractions. Focus Mode hides other tabs, while Tasks group tabs into work areas that you can switch between with keyboard shortcuts. Min searches the text of pages you have visited on your device. Bookmarks support tags, and the browser can suggest pages similar to saved bookmarks. Usage statistics are enabled by default, covering the operating system, computer language, install date, version, feature usage, and an anonymous installation ID; you can opt out in preferences. Min says it does not send personally identifying information, browsing history, passwords, or other data stored locally. Credential autofill works through Bitwarden and 1Password command-line tools. Userscripts extend functionality, and DuckDuckGo integration can provide suggestions and API information.
