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. DARKEN ALL WEBSITES Pick a unique dark mode theme and apply it to every website. No more blinding white pages at night. COMFORT MODE Adjust the interface so your tabs, favorites, and search suggestions are always easy to reach with one hand. UNIQUE QUALITY-OF-LIFE IMPROVEMENTS EVERYWHERE • Use any search engine, even Kagi or your own SearXNG instance. • Enhance your toolbar with a wide range of tools: disable JavaScript, switch to desktop mode, close all tabs and clear data, translate pages, and more. • Estimated read time for every page. • Open new tabs on the website of your choice. • Extreme energy saving in Low Power Mode. MY PRIVACY STANCE: KEEP YOUR DATA FOR YOURSELF • Zero data tracking or usage monitoring. • Never connects to any first-party or third-party servers, except to RevenueCat for managing purchases and preventing fraud. • No sign-up, obviously. LIGHTWEIGHT, FAST, AND ORIGINAL Quiche Browser is not another bloated clone of Firefox, Brave, or Chrome. I built it entirely from scratch for performance and to keep it lightweight. 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/
