Shimmer Browser vs The Browser

Introducing Shimmer Browser - The focus browser! Your style - 3 visual styles to choose from, resizable sidebar with a compact icon-only made, and all buttons are fully customisable. Arc-like - save tabs, organise them into folders, sync via iCloud. No more doom-scrolling - set time limits on saved tabs. Clutter-free - block annoyances on the web, quickly clean up unsaved tabs, or set them to auto-close! Tab triage - saved tabs detect links to other sites, and present them in tab triage with options to save for later. Tabs on your homescreen - add widgets to your homescreen and select the tabs they show. Give it a try! It’s free up to 4 tabs at once, so you can get a sense of the browsing experience. If you like it, you can unlock the full experience and help me add more features!
