What is Sol Browser?

Sol Browser is a light web browser for Windows, built on Chromium through Microsoft WebView2. Tabs live in a sidebar card you can resize or hide, with pinned tabs, named and coloured tab groups, split view, bookmarks and history. The interface can take the colours of the page you are looking at.

Chrome Web Store extensions work, and ads and trackers are blocked out of the box with uBlock Origin Lite. Inactive tabs go to sleep and are later unloaded, so long sessions stay light on memory. A video keeps playing in a floating player when you leave its tab.

Import bookmarks, history and saved passwords from Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera and Comet, and back everything up to one file encrypted with your own key. Profiles keep data separate, and private windows are erased when closed.

For web developers, Sol includes a device simulator with real phone and tablet shapes and several screens side by side, a network inspector, area or full-page screenshots, and shortcuts such as typing :3000 to open localhost:3000.
