Native Browser

A lightweight, privacy-first browser built natively for Apple Silicon.

What it does

Stop running Chrome's bloat on your M-series Mac. Native Browser uses WebKit and Apple's native frameworks for blazing-fast performance, minimal RAM usage, and zero telemetry. It's the browsing experience your Mac was designed for — no Electron, no embedded analytics, no background processes you didn't ask for.

  • Up to 5× less RAM than Chrome
  • WebKit-powered for speed
  • Zero telemetry — your data stays on your Mac
  • Open source on GitHub

Prestanite trošiti resurse svog M-serija Maca na Chromeov bloat. Native Browser koristi WebKit i Appleove izvorne okvire za munjevitu izvedbu, minimalnu potrošnju RAM-a i bez ikakve telemetrije. To je iskustvo pregledavanja za koje je vaš Mac dizajniran — bez Electrona, bez ugrađene analitike, bez pozadinskih procesa koje niste tražili.

  • Do 5× manje RAM-a od Chromea
  • Pokreće ga WebKit za brzinu
  • Bez telemetrije — vaši podaci ostaju na vašem Macu
  • Otvoreni kod na GitHubu

Why native?

Most "Mac apps" today are actually web apps in disguise — Electron wrappers shipping a full Chromium runtime, a Node process, and a few hundred megabytes of dependencies. They burn battery, hog RAM, and never feel quite right.

Native Browser is different. It's built with Swift and uses WKWebView, the same engine Safari runs. That means it launches in milliseconds, sips memory instead of guzzling it, and respects every system convention you'd expect: Touch ID, Universal Clipboard, Handoff, system-wide spell check, and proper energy management when your Mac is on battery.

And because there's no telemetry pipeline, no crash reporter phoning home, and no third-party SDKs — your browsing genuinely stays on your machine. The whole binary is small enough to read top to bottom.

Većina "Mac aplikacija" danas zapravo su web aplikacije u prerušavanju — Electron omoti koji isporučuju cijeli Chromium runtime, Node proces i nekoliko stotina megabajta ovisnosti. Troše bateriju, gutaju RAM i nikad se ne osjećaju sasvim kako treba.

Native Browser je drugačiji. Izgrađen je u Swiftu i koristi WKWebView, isti engine koji pokreće Safari. To znači da se pokreće u milisekundama, štedi memoriju umjesto da je proždire i poštuje svaku sistemsku konvenciju koju očekujete: Touch ID, Universal Clipboard, Handoff, sistemsku provjeru pravopisa i pravilno upravljanje energijom kad je vaš Mac na bateriji.

A jer nema telemetrijskog cjevovoda, nema reportera padova koji zove kući i nema SDK-ova trećih strana — vaše pregledavanje zaista ostaje na vašem uređaju. Cijela datoteka je dovoljno mala da se pročita od početka do kraja.
