Quiche Browser vs pluris

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/

pluris is five tools in one, and all of them run on your iPhone. Tidy your contacts, clear out duplicate photos, block nuisance calls, filter junk texts, and keep your passwords in a vault that syncs through your own iCloud Keychain. There is no pluris account, and no server of ours holds your data. A PASSWORD VAULT, FREE Logins, passkeys, API keys, bank cards, identity documents, recovery phrases and Wi-Fi details, behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. pluris fills passwords and signs you in with passkeys anywhere iOS offers AutoFill. The whole vault is in the free version. YOUR KEYCHAIN, NOT OUR SERVER Vault items live in the iOS keychain and sync between your own devices through iCloud Keychain. Nothing is uploaded to us, because there is nowhere to upload it to. Take an encrypted backup whenever you want one, or a plain CSV or JSON if you are moving to another manager. Deleted items wait 30 days in a recycle bin before they are really gone. With pluris Pro, Google Gemini can also tidy the vault through pluris cloud — better names, groups and categories, notes split into items — an opt-in that sends only titles, groups, categories and notes, with every secret replaced by a placeholder. TIDY CONTACTS Find duplicates and merge them. Repair phone numbers that are missing digits or carry a malformed prefix, and fix country codes across the whole address book. Smart groups organise contacts as they change. Import and export vCard and CSV. RECLAIM YOUR STORAGE Find exact duplicate photos and videos, and near-duplicates too — the burst of twelve almost-identical shots. Compress what you keep. You see every match before anything is deleted, and nothing is deleted without you. STOP THE CALLS Block numbers outright or by prefix, label the ones you want to recognise on sight, and let Call Shield follow your Focus modes. FILTER THE TEXTS Messages from people who are not in your contacts are sorted into junk, promotional and transactional, using keywords you control, in your own language. Safe keywords stop the filter catching something you were waiting for. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Your contacts, photos and messages are read on the device and never sent anywhere. pluris has no backend for your data, no analytics and no advertising. The one thing that can leave is the redacted description the Pro organiser sends to Google Gemini, and only after you switch it on. FREE, AND PRO Free gives you the whole vault, single merges and deletions, five blocked numbers, five caller labels, three prefix rules and twelve keywords per SMS category. Pro lifts the caps and adds the bulk tools: merge every duplicate at once, clean all duplicate photos, compress in bulk, repair numbers in bulk, unlimited import and export, and a community spam number list with regional rules. Requires iOS 18.6 or later. Localised in over 20 languages. Terms & Conditions: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
