Just to add my company's browser too, http://whale.naver.com/

Chromium-based, actively developed, and has Android+iOS browsers. You can use chrome extensions with it too.

Browser is such a security nightmare, how would one want to trust from a random vendor?

What is it's selling point?

We're actually the largest tech company in South Korea, not a completely random vendor. We also own LINE messenger which is probably more known.

Thanks. You still didn't answer what is its (unique) selling point though. e.g. Why should I use it over this 'ungoogled Chromium' itself, or say Firefox?

The website has a list of features that differentiate it.

Tried it. It ignores my window manager's decorations and enforces its own, with no apparent way of changing that (unlike e.g. Chromium).

To back astonex’s point, I never tried their browser but Navernis far from a random company.

If you’re afraid of them not having enough resource or not caring enough to maintain it, the company has deep pocket and won’t disappear tomorrow.

I know naver mainly as a chat app, and it was pretty good and hugely popular in Asia at a point. There was a huge account leak a few years ago, so I guess they also should be battle tested now.

Basically it could be a strong independent browser vendor mainly interesting in capturing users in their ecosystem.

It is always good to hear about a new browser. Unfortunately the only Linux download option is a .deb package. Could you please make an .AppImage? AppImage files are a single-file run-anywhere application (think of ThinApp/App-V on windows).

More information about AppImage: https://appimage.org/

Is it decoupled from Google?
Re:Modifications to Google Chromium for removing Google inte... by astonex on Monday September 24, 2018 @02:07AM (#18055387)
Yes there is nothing Google in it. And if you happen to use Naver services, you won't be automatically logged in like Chrome is doing.

Nah.. Just another closed source browser for `vendor lock-in`. no thanks.
