What it does

Blanc is a minimal desktop browser for macOS, Windows, and Linux with built-in ad and tracker blocking, private tabs, tab groups, and keyboard-first commands.

A minimal desktop browser for macOS, Windows and Linux, with built-in ad and tracker blocking. Choose from five start-page layouts: Ledger, Billboard, Shelf, Tally, and Mahjong. Jump to the sites you visit often, pick up a group of tabs, or take a moment to play. Built-in blocking reduces ads and known trackers, with a per-site switch when you need it. Private tabs stay out of Blanc history, session restore and Recently Closed. Press ⌘L or Ctrl+L to search tabs, Favorites and history, or type / for browser commands. Choose another open tab for Glance and read it beside your main page. Resize the split or close the temporary view when you are done. Pick a tab or group from Recently Closed.…from blancbrowser.com
