Forkle BETA (Feb 2020)

A tiny, low-distraction web browser

Forkle is probably the simplest web browser for Windows. Its feature set is intentionally limited, to minimize both distractions and attack vectors.

Forkle has no extensions, no tabs, no toolbars, and no bookmark manager. It is still in beta. Even its name could still change. So why would you want to give it a try?

Compared to mainstream web browsers:

● It has huge screen real estate
● It has no behavior tracking and zero telemetry
● It has a built-in lightweight adblocker
● It has the fastest cold startup time
● It has the smallest binary size
● It often has the lowest RAM usage
● It is Keepass friendly out of the box

Security is also a top focus in Forkle, with features including TLD whitelisting, HTTPS-only navigation, process isolation, homoglyph detection and patch-level checking.

With a binary size under 2MB, Forkle is extremely lightweight, making it ideal for quick, casual web browsing. It is also an excellent match for USB thumbdrives and resource-limited systems.
