Fifo Browser

A web browser is an indispensable, non-negotiable tool on the computers of today, mainly because it acts as a gateway to the World Wide Web. For many, the first instinct upon booting up their machine is to launch their browser and surf the web: and for that, a browser must be dependable, private, and secure. It is the one tool that probably gets the most mileage on most people's computers, so you best choose wisely.

Fifo Browser is a Chromium-based, privacy-focused alternative to the mainstream solutions, seeking to provide an experience that is as secure as it is snappy, while not sacrificing any functionality in the process.

This is a Chromium-based browser through-and-through, and it is evident from the get-go: the design of the interface is the first giveaway, then there's also the way the settings are structured, in a fashion very reminiscent of Google Chrome. Of course, that's not a bad thing at all: there's a tinge of familiarity in everything here, which makes it all the more convenient for users to switch, as there's little to no learning curve involved.

As a Chromium-based alternative that seeks to shun Google's tracking practices, the initiative is indeed a shrewd one. The built-in ad-blocker ensures a free-from-ads experience for users, and there's also the capability to download add-ons from the Chrome Web Store, which greatly improves on the versatility and usability of the browser. What's more, though DuckDuckGo's reputation is far from perfect, it nevertheless serves users well as the default search engine.

There's also the browser's home page, which displays your commonly-accessed websites at a glance. Scrolling down will also provide you with the most popular news coverages, where the sources are balanced and generally well-regarded.

Pinning tabs is nothing new, and though it may seem like a rather insignificant function in the grand scheme, it can work wonders with busier workloads. This solution offers tab pinning and then some, thanks to the tab grouping capability.

In short, you can add certain tabs to groups. These groups can be named and given a distinct color, which can greatly help speed up workloads where lots of such tabs are involved. The now-grouped tabs are neatly integrated into the interface, and can be accessed at the ready thanks to the clear delineation offered by the grouping. For instance, such a feature would come in quite handy while writing a research paper or something of the sort.

Fifo Browser is a Chromium browser with all the benefits that would involve, and more: a familiar, practical interface, a relatively lightweight experience, add-on support from one of the biggest web stores out there, and above all, a tracking-free, private experience.
