Light bends here.
refrax is the browser i built when Arc was abandoned and nothing else felt right. i use it daily. you can too.

01 ・ the story
I'd only ever
been a user.
i started using Arc in 2022. asked for the invite, learned the shortcuts, slowly got used to it. by the time it was abandoned and sold to Atlassian, i couldn't go back to Safari. none of the others were good enough. so i built the browser i wanted to keep.
WebKit ships with the OS, but all you get is the rendering engine. everything else had to be made from scratch: tabs, history, bookmarks, passwords, downloads, extensions. i made it to my taste and for myself.
so it makes no claims about speed or privacy. it shares its engine with Safari; the rest is window dressing, but better.
02 ・ the label
Tabs, spaces,
one keystroke.
Liquid Glass. vertical tabs and grouped spaces. a command lens: every tab, bookmark, and action one keystroke away. and a CLI, so the whole browser can be driven and scripted.
It's the browser
I wanted.
