What it does

Tired of slow browsers tracking your every move? Meet Porus, the ultimate zero-bloat Android browser. Porus cuts out distracting news feeds and sponsored clutter so you can browse at the speed of thought. Standout features include a native ad and tracker blocker, automatic smart dark mode, aggressive tab state preservation, and a unique "Bottom-First UI" designed specifically for effortless one-handed ergonomics. Fast, entirely private, and proudly made in India.

The minimalist, privacy-first Android browser built for one-handed use.

A browser built for mid-range Android phones. Loads faster, blocks trackers, works one-handed. Zero bloat. Zero compromise. Traditional web browsers are bloated with news feed crawlers, ad scripts, and continuous background sync. By prioritizing memory limits and native rendering, pages load in under a second. Because every browser we tried was built for American flagship phones — not for the ₹12,000 Android you actually use. Every control in Porus lives in the bottom 40% of the screen. Address bar, tabs, back button — all reachable without shifting your grip. Your thumb does everything. Switching to Porus cut our test device RAM usage by 60% and extended battery by 3 hours on average use.…from porusbrowser.vercel.app

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
