I left a comfy UX/Eng job at Google to build Quiche Browser and an indie brand around my love for the Web, minimalism, and questionable naming.

What a lovely surprise to discover my little indie web browser so tastefully featured on a YouTube channel about minimalism and aesthetics in tech.
(Both very much my thing, and what I try to put into Quiche Browser.)

Once custom blocking lists are supported, it'll be possible to define your own CSS-based element removals. The "hide distracting items" would be great but a bit challenging, and not always error proof. If I tackle scriptlets support first, I think the blocker can get a lot more powerful.

I totally forgot I described it this way, but also... stand by it. Love an insane browser

“Insane but actually really lovely” could be a fitting description of my app, and probably of the whole idea of trying to build a sustainable business around a web browser with a silly name.

Wow, wow! Thanks so much for the shout-out, the super kind words, and your generous support. I’m really touched 😌
Reasonably sized phones are unfortunately an extinct species, but Comfort Mode helps bring some reachability back.

Comfort Mode and customization in the Quiche mobile browser are life-changing for me and my AVERAGE SIZED FEMALE HANDS. Independent designer, no crypto bs, built-in adblock, a very responsive designer, looks great and I think I finally found the browser I’ve been looking for. @quiche.industries

Coming from you, it's a true honor 🙇♂️
But I can't remember you ever telling me! I had a huge respect for you and your design skills at G, so please always feel free to share any feedback you may have.

Swipe-to-close gestures now available in Quiche Browser!
I’ve already received some positive feedback so hopefully they feel so good you’ll open 100 random tabs just for the fun of swipe-closing them.
(I just did.)

Can you please share some concrete examples of where you'd like to confirm the target app every time? Maybe some alternative solutions could help in your case.

Tricky, unfortunately... I believe developers have no way to detect whenever a webpage is about to open a universal link in an external app 😔

I saw the same blinding white flash on Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, DuckDuckGo, and Orion, which makes night browsing on them pretty rough.
Safari and Arc Search are the only other exceptions I’ve found, but Quiche Browser is the only one of the three that also darkens websites out of the box.

Quiche Browser vs. Chrome vs. Edge vs. Firefox:
Only Quiche Browser doesn’t throw a full-screen white flash in your face when opening a web page from another app.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test
Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)
Good tech.
Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

That's also planned, but I'll ship delete gestures first.

Swipe-to-delete gestures are finally coming to Quiche Browser 🎉
Still more tweaking to do around the design, animation, and timing until everything feels right. I’m pretty obsessive about these details, but shipping great gestures is my big goal this year!

Great read: a plea to app developers in favor of customizable UI in software, using Quiche Browser as an example 🌞
• Why customization doesn’t add more complexity.
• Why it’s not an excuse for not providing good defaults.
• Why it matters even more since iOS 26.

i honestly really love quiche - i didn't think it was possible to really enjoy a mobile browser but the built-in ad blocker alone has completely changed my life. no one should have to raw dog the internet on their phone just because they don't have access to a VPN/proxy
I’m dead set on the direction for Quiche Browser in 2026:
Doubling down on the qualities people keep highlighting in App Store reviews, the ones that set it apart in a world full of browsers that all look the same. Minimalism, heart, polish, lightness.
This feels like the only way forward.

Wow thanks so much for the shout out!
In all honesty the blocker still has lots of room for progress, but I’m really glad it’s been working decently for the websites you visit.
Also, thank you for reporting that missing icon issue earlier!

I love when people ask me that, but realistically it will only happen if the business grows enough to pay for food and rent.
