CLUSTER WEB-BROWSER-BROWSING · 24 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-07-27
Web browsers for everyday use
This cluster comprises 14 web browsers spanning minimalist, privacy-focused, open-source, and scriptable designs, all aimed at everyday browsing on various platforms. The dated history shows a sporadic trickle of new members, with single entries in most months and two in March 2026, rather than any consistent pattern. Traction leaders are Floorp, Google Chrome, and Chromium Web Browser, each with an equal activity signal of 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
