What is Min for Mac

Min is a smart, minimal web browser.

Features

Find anything instantly: The search bar answers your questions immediately, with information from DuckDuckGo including Wikipedia entries, a calculator, and more. Jump to any site quickly with fuzzy search, and get suggestions before you even start typing. And when you create a bookmark, the full text of the page is saved and becomes searchable, so you’ll never lose anything again.
Effortless tab management: Tabs in Min open to the right of the current tab, so you’ll never lose your place. Tabs you haven’t looked at in a while dim, so you can focus on what you’re working on. And when you have lots of tabs, you can swipe down to expand your tabs into a grid, allowing you to quickly find any tab.
Built-in ad blocking: Min lets you decide whether you want to see ads or not. And when you’re using a slow or expensive internet connection, it lets you block scripts and images, so pages load faster and use fewer data.
Fast and efficient: Min is designed to be fast. It uses less battery power, so you don't have to worry about finding a charger.
Open-Source software: Min is written entirely with CSS and JavaScript, and is open-source software, available on GitHub.

What's new in Min

Version 1.21.0:

A few new protections against tracking and insecure sites:

Most URLs typed in the searchbar are now upgraded to HTTPS automatically.
Min now blocks advertising popup windows.
Min now automatically removes common query parameters used to track you from links.

In-browser translation (Beta)

Other changes:

Updated Japanese and Arabic translations.
Hovering over the back button now shows a forward button if you can go forward.
With a search result selected, you can now press the right arrow or space key to fill the URL in the searchbar.
Fixed layout issues on macOS with right-to-left languages.
It should now be possible to sign in to Google again. If you're still having issues, let us know here.
Updated Chromium.
Various other bug fixes.

5.0

Version: 1.19.2

v1.20 is working quite well (on 10.11), though I only use it for one heavy website (namely Covid statistics on gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com ;-) ), so I can't make a thorough review. v1.21 crashes on launch, here.

If it were based on WebKit or Gecko, I'd give it a shot. But Chromium? No thanks. After what Google pulled in 2008, I trust them exactly 0%.

This version incorrectly lists 10.10 as min. MacOSX required. It now requires 11.0

1.14.1

Version: 1.14.1

I've just DLed this little gem and I love it! I usually fire Arctic Fox for my Youtube searches, just because it was the fastest to launch (typically 8s), but Min beats it (5s). As for the general behaviour, no surprises: it's based on Chromium, hence its speed. It's minimal indeed, I would have liked a status bar or popup to show the URLs for links, but except for that it's really nice!

4.0

Version: 1.12.0

I really like browsers... I use four of them regularly. Vivaldi, Firefox Developers Edition, Brave and Safari Technology Preview... now I have added a fifth... this "Min." I have imported bookmarks, but it really doesn't shine for that type of use, opening only one at a time... what it does do well is respond to typed phrases or shortcuts to those bookmarks or any web site or research interest and the most amazing aspect is it's blinding speed. I mean all the browsers are very fast now... I've been computing since the very beginning of dial up... but man, this is so fast, It just amazes me... I normally have several windows available with a few hosting open browsers. When it's a search I want, this is the one I'm using now... literally no load time... I am new to it and it's possible I'll find other uses for it, but for this alone, it is worth having.

The developer calls Min a "_minimal_" web-browser. If he were to add in all the extras requested, his app wouldn't be minimal, anymore. Do you see what I'm saying? If you want a browser that kicks Web ass, then you need to use Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi, or Opera.

I still like this browser a lot, but I still can't use it because I need a few extensions. It is fast and renders very well. It really makes me wish it were more complete.

1.6.1

Version: 1.6.1

This is fast and light, and worked well on several sites. The ad blocker seems to work without any fuss. I wasn't happy with not having bookmarks and I need at least 3 extensions:
1. an ad blocker - this has it
2. LastPass - can't add
3. A cookie manager (like Cookie on Safari)
Other extensions, such as Evernote, Pocket, and a page zoom with memory would be nice.

Because of what it's missing, I can't rate this highly. So this will be a comment and I'll give a review + rating when the app is more complete.
