Task-Based Electron Web Browser

A web browser for the power user. Forget the browser window full of unsorted, jammed tabs. Alloy is built up on Tasks, of which every has its own Tablist. You only see the relevant Tabs for your current Task.

Task-Based Electron Web Browser launched on April 30, 2016 with 148 votes, #199 of 4,301 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

In plain words

Alloy is a web browser designed for power users who work with many tabs. It organizes tabs into separate task-specific lists, so users only see tabs relevant to their current task rather than a cluttered window full of unsorted tabs. This task-based approach helps users manage multiple projects and workflows more efficiently within a single browser window.
