About FixBrowser

FixBrowser is a lightweight web browser being developed from scratch. It intentionally omits JavaScript support and instead uses a maintained set of scripts to adapt supported websites. The project describes the browser itself as alpha-stage software, making it an option for experimentation rather than a promise of complete compatibility with modern web applications.

The related FixProxy exposes the browser's backend through a regular browser and uses an allowlist approach to loading resources from other domains. The author describes FixProxy as the more mature part of the project. Current downloads cover Windows, Linux and Haiku, alongside source code. Additional platforms, video support and other features appear as plans or development priorities, not as capabilities already delivered in every download.
