Comments and Reviews

   
 Post comment/review
Comment summary: The Min browser is praised for its fast startup speed, lightweight and minimalistic design, integrated ad blocker, clean interface, and ease of use. Users find it particularly suitable for everyday browsing needs without the bloat of complex browsers. However, some express a need for more features, such as support for browser extensions and multi-process handling, and note that it lacks functionality like ad-blocking on YouTube and basic navigation buttons.

If it had more features, this would be definitely my default web browser.

4 because of it's lack of features, and how the focused tab can be confused with the unfocused tabs.

I have just downloaded it and given it a try:

  • it does not block ads (watched youtube)
  • I have not found out how to reload a page/tab (have not found any button on the bar)

As far as Youtube is concerned, this is correct - I can confirm, at least not all of it. But otherwise: I use it for testing purposes, and I have not seen a single ad.

Refresh: There's no button for that (obviously, if you didn't find it). Standard F5 works. You can also refresh by the Developer menu, but I don't know if it's the same functionality.

The Min browser is awesome but he missing some main features which others browsers have such as adding extensions. By the way Min browser is based on Chromium which mean you should be able to add extensions but you can't. Overall this browser is great for those who want minimal looking browser.

Since it's based on Chromium, it no longer runs on Windows 7 (last working Win 7 version is the 1.27.0).

A great, fast, and lightweight web browser. It has an integrated ad blocker, and it supports Bitwarden icon Bitwarden, which is great. Only 4 stars though, because despite being based on Chromium, it doesn't support extensions at the moment, so it's a bit limiting.

Min is currently my favorite browser of the Chromium family. It is very minimalistic, clean, and does its job well.

It is different from mainstream browsers through its minimalistic interface. No toolbar, but nevertheless easy navigation once you have familiarized yourself with it. Maybe not a browser for complex tasks, but I think most people (like me among others) just want to browse the net without much bloat and clutter from buttons, toolbars, ads. Testing it since two days and finding that it meets my everyday needs perfectly.

The biggest advantage is that the startup speed is very fast. It is okay to use the browser only when necessary and close it immediately. You can turn it on again when needed.

The biggest drawback is that it does not support multi-processes other than tabs. They seem to have complexities to work out on this issue.
