Mind Browser

What Mind Browser is

Mind Browser is a Chromium browser that adds five sidebar agents for planning, browser control, research, writing and analysis. The agents read pages, carry out tasks and return results using models on the user's machine. Supported providers include Ollama, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq and OpenRouter; when Ollama is selected, prompts and page text stay on the device. News Hub organizes stories into six sections with political-spectrum labels and deduplicated briefings, alongside Google Trends, Polymarket odds and Kalshi event questions. Finance Hub provides nine chart ranges, indicators, company fundamentals, industry news, trending tickers and watchlists without API keys or subscriptions. Its US equity data is typically fifteen minutes behind, and it does not connect to brokers or place orders.

The browser also includes Shields for blocking ad, tracker and fingerprinting domains across tabs, webviews and extensions, plus split view, notes, a command palette, Chrome Web Store extensions, PDF annotation, screenshots and a per-process task manager. Onion Mode opens a separate in-memory window through a Tor circuit and can reach .onion services, but it is not Tor Browser and remains fingerprintable. Mind Browser is MIT licensed and free, with no account. It supports macOS 12 or later on Apple Silicon and Windows 10/11 on x64; it has no Intel Mac or Windows ARM build. Chrome bookmarks and history cannot be imported, though Chrome Web Store extensions can be installed.

Who it suits

Mind Browser suits people who want page-reading agents and browser tools in one Chromium-based app, especially those who can supply a model provider or use Ollama. It also fits readers who want built-in news and finance views, provided they do not need broker trading or Chrome bookmark and history import.

Limits

The free plan is free forever, but AI agents require your model or Ollama. Finance data for US equities is typically fifteen minutes behind, and the browser cannot place orders or connect to a broker.

Getting started

1. Open the Mind Browser website.
2. Choose the build for macOS 12 or later on Apple Silicon, or Windows 10/11 on x64.
3. Install and launch the browser; no account is required.
4. Select a supported model provider, or select Ollama for local prompts and page text.
5. Use the help page if you need guidance with unsigned builds, Ollama detection, sites, agents or extensions.

Verdict

Choose Mind Browser if you want a free Chromium browser with sidebar agents, privacy controls and built-in news and finance views. Its agent features require your model or Ollama, and its finance tools are not a substitute for broker trading. Check system compatibility first if you use an Intel Mac or Windows ARM device.
