release of the web browser , offering a minimalist interface built around address bar manipulation. The browser is built on the , allowing the creation of standalone applications based on the Chromium engine and Node.js platform. The Min interface is written in JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. The code is licensed under Apache 2.0. Builds are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Min supports navigation through open pages via a tab system, providing features such as opening a new tab next to the current one, hiding inactive tabs (which the user has not accessed for a certain amount of time), grouping tabs, and viewing all tabs as a list. There are tools to create lists of deferred tasks/links for future reading, as well as a bookmarking system with full-text search support. The browser includes an ad-blocking system (using the ) and code to track visitors, with the option to disable image and script loading.
The central control element in Min is the address bar, through which you can send requests to the search engine (default is DuckDuckGo) and search the current page. As you type in the address bar, a summary of relevant information for the current query is generated, such as links to articles on Wikipedia, selections from bookmarks and browsing history, as well as recommendations from the DuckDuckGo search engine. Each page opened in the browser is indexed and becomes available for subsequent searches in the address bar. Commands can also be entered in the address bar to quickly perform actions (for example, "!settings" to go to settings, "!screenshot" to create a screenshot, "!clearhistory" to clear the browsing history, etc.).
