Five reasons

Why Solar exists

  1. 01

    They’re watching you.

    be private

    The only thing collected is an anonymised ID, used to count daily searches and unique users -- and you can switch it off. No profile building, nothing sold, and your history never leaves the device unencrypted.

    How privacy works
  2. 02

    You’re using a layout standardised twenty years ago.

    be unique

    Layout, tabs, shortcuts and themes are configuration here -- not product decisions you have to live with.

  3. 03

    Almost every browser is the same engine in a different coat.

    be independent

    Solar is not a fork. Quanta, the JavaScript engine, is written from scratch and already passes 80% of test262. The rendering engine is next, and gets built the same way.

    Your extensions belong to a store, not to you.

    be portable

    Extensions written for other major browsers run here without a rewrite or a compatibility shim.

  5. 05

    Your browser wants every gigabyte you have.

    be light

    Our next-generation architecture aims to use 30% less memory, with more battery life.

    What it does

So --

Solar

A browser that's actually yours.

One email, once. Nothing else.
