An independent browser thoughtfully designed by a single human, and funded by its users. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS “A very robust, exquisitely designed, stunningly handsome web browser. […] It’s just so thoughtful. So utterly modern in its appearance and features, but old-school in its hyperfocus on serving you, the user, through craftsmanship.” — Daring Fireball “My favorite iOS browser these days is Quiche Browser. It’s somehow both incredibly simple and one of the most customizable browsers I’ve ever tried.” — The Verge “Quiche Browser has clearly been designed with care.” — MacStories “If you want a lightweight, private, minimalistic, yet customizable web browsing experience on your iPhone – [Quiche Browser] might be the perfect answer for you.” — 9to5Mac “Quiche Browser is unique, engaging, and fully customizable.” — Lifehacker BROWSER CUSTOMIZATION DESIGNED TO STAY SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL • Choose and place every toolbar and menu button. • Customize the address bar’s appearance and contents. • Choose from a list of ready-to-use toolbars, which you can then adapt to your needs. • Use a Liquid Glass toolbar, or switch to a Classic one if Liquid Glass isn’t your thing. • Manage tabs with multiple display and sorting options. • Read web pages in full screen for focused, distraction-free browsing. BUILT-IN BLOCKING Ads, trackers, and cookie banners are blocked by default.  Pages load faster and feel less cluttered.

FULLY INDEPENDENT • No investors dictating growth or influencing product direction. • No search engine deals, data monetization, or partner agreements shaping the browser. • It’s just me, building the browser of my dreams. 100% FUNDED BY USERS Subscribing to Quiche PLUS unlocks additional features such as Website Darkening, Comfort Mode, all app icons, and all button styles. Building a web browser alone is a full-time job, and subscribing also allows me to: • Keep the app up to date with new iOS releases and features. • Build more unique features. • Start working toward a macOS version. — greg@quiche.industries threads.net/quicheindustries instagram.com/quicheindustries bsky.app/profile/quiche.industries mastodon.social/@quicheindustries Terms and Conditions https://quiche.industries/browser/terms/
