Kumo - A Wayland Mobile Browser
Kumo is a web browser with a UI focused on portrait-mode touchscreen mobile
devices. It is optimized to run on low-end hardware with a limited battery life.
Features
Kumo is a UI written around Safari's WebKit browser engine, so they should be comparable in behavior and performance.
The following noteworthy features are implemented:
- Built-in adblocker
- Whitelist-based cookie policy
- Shell-like URI completion
- Session recovery
- Tab groups
