About

Lightning is a simple, fast web browser that focuses on design, security, and efficiency. It uses material design, doesn't track you, gives you lots of options to protect your privacy. It gets out of the way of the user. I built this browser because I wanted something better. Blocking ads is a core feature of Lightning Browser, meant to improve the speed and security of your browsing experience. Lightning's interface was carefully crafted so you can browse as efficiently as possible. Tabs and Bookmarks are all tucked neatly away in side drawers, only a swipe away, allowing maximum screen viewing with minimal interference from the browser's chrome. Dark mode, light mode, color mode, night mode. Anyway, whatever you like, there's a mode for you. By utilizing the WebKit rendering engine that comes built into your Android device, Lightning can ensure a swift, lightweight experience.

About

surf is a simple web browser based on WebKit2/GTK+. It is able to display websites and follow links. It supports the XEmbed protocol which makes it possible to embed it in another application. Furthermore, one can point surf to another URI by setting its properties. You can navigate by clicking on links on the displayed page. Hit Ctrl-g to enter a new URL. Compile your own webkit or expect hell. The packaging of webkit is purely insane. Surf uses upstream stable webkit2gtk by default, but the previous version based on webkit1gtk is still available as a branch. surf is actively developed. You can browse its source code repository or get a copy with the simple commands. Adblocking is a non-trivial task, but there are trivial solutions. The gethostszero file can of course be reused to create the /etc/hosts file. A cronjob can be used to update the file and run hosts-gen again.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The browser is fast, secure, and simple. It has an excellent and versatile ad-blocker, unlimited tabs, and unlimited bookmarks. It is very customizable, and is very small. This is due to how it uses the Android System Webview app that is built in to every Android device.

Cons

  • Lightning does not have a global dark theme that will cover every site visited. (Other versions of the app do.)
