Quiche Browser for iPad is now available in beta! Want to be among the first to try it out? Simply drop me an email or slide into my DMs for your TestFlight invite. An independent browser thoughtfully designed by a single human, and funded by its users. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS “My favorite iOS browser these days is Quiche Browser. It’s somehow both incredibly simple and one of the most customizable browsers I’ve ever tried.” — The Verge “Quiche Browser has clearly been designed with care.” — MacStories “If you want a lightweight, private, minimalistic, yet customizable web browsing experience on your iPhone – [Quiche Browser] might be the perfect answer for you.” — 9to5Mac “Quiche Browser is unique, engaging, and fully customizable.” — Lifehacker BROWSER CUSTOMIZATION DESIGNED TO STAY SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL • Choose and place every toolbar and menu button. • Customize the address bar’s appearance and contents. • Choose from a list of ready-to-use toolbars, which you can then adapt to your needs. • Use a Liquid Glass toolbar, or switch to a Classic one if Liquid Glass isn’t your thing. • Manage tabs with multiple display and sorting options. • Read web pages in full screen for focused, distraction-free browsing. BUILT-IN BLOCKING Ads, trackers, and cookie banners are blocked by default. Pages load faster and feel less cluttered. DARKEN ALL WEBSITES Pick a unique dark mode theme and apply it to every website. No more blinding white pages at night. COMFORT MODE Adjust the interface so your tabs, favorites, and search suggestions are always easy to reach with one hand. UNIQUE QUALITY-OF-LIFE IMPROVEMENTS EVERYWHERE • Use any search engine, even Kagi or your own SearXNG instance. • Enhance your toolbar with a wide range of tools: disable JavaScript, switch to desktop mode, close all tabs and clear data, translate pages, and more. • Estimated read time for every page. • Open new tabs on the website of your choice. • Extreme energy saving in Low Power Mode. MY PRIVACY STANCE: KEEP YOUR DATA FOR YOURSELF • Zero data tracking or usage monitoring. • Never connects to any first-party or third-party servers, except to RevenueCat for managing purchases and preventing fraud. • No sign-up, obviously. LIGHTWEIGHT, FAST, AND ORIGINAL Quiche Browser is not another bloated clone of Firefox, Brave, or Chrome. I built it entirely from scratch for performance and to keep it lightweight. FULLY INDEPENDENT • No investors dictating growth or influencing product direction. • No search engine deals, data monetization, or partner agreements shaping the browser. • It’s just me, building the browser of my dreams. • I personally read and reply to all user messages. 100% FUNDED BY USERS Subscribing to Quiche PLUS unlocks additional features such as Website Darkening, Comfort Mode, all app icons, and all button styles. Building a web browser alone is a full-time job, and subscribing also allows me to: • Keep the app up to date with new iOS releases and features. • Build more unique features. • Start working toward a macOS version. — greg@quiche.industries threads.net/quicheindustries instagram.com/quicheindustries bsky.app/profile/quiche.industries mastodon.social/@quicheindustries Terms and Conditions https://quiche.industries/browser/terms/

A minimalists dream

tl;dr An incredibly creative and well crafted browser with tons of potential from a developer who caresI want to start by saying, I can’t believe this app doesn’t have more attention. I was reading an article that popped up talking about this app. It sounded unique and immediately piqued my interest when it mentioned “customizable browser”. I honestly have been looking for something like this for years and I’ve tried everything but nothing could convince me to stay. I ended up sticking with Safari purely because of continuity, a slightly feeling of minimalism, and functionality. However, Quiche is truly unique with its simplicity. Just the mere fact that you could move the back button to the other side of the address bar sold me. Along with that, there’s tons of other options and ways to make it your own. The cherry on top for me was the care from the developer. I had a couple questions regarding some functionality in the app and was able to contact him directly through his instagram. He took the time to answer my questions along with taking any feedback and requests. Sure, the browser is missing some things but I’m not worried in the slightest that it will stay that way. Keep up the good work

Fantastic alternative to Safari! I’m loving the simplicity and customization of Quiche Browser so far. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. I wanted something that didn’t stray too far from what I’m used to in Safari. It’s very minimal and doesn’t overwhelm you with unnecessary features or bloat. Looks wise, it fits right in with the iOS design language and implements Liquid Glass from iOS 26 very well, plus you can disable it if you’d prefer. But the strengths here are your customization options. There are tons of ways you can configure the nav/tab bar and the menu. I’ve really been enjoying the ability to dial in my settings and how I’d like the controls to be laid out. However what truly sold me on Quiche was the prompt reply and direct implementation of feedback from the developer Greg. He’s so kind and provided very detailed notes on my feedback. I truly appreciate that. I love to support great software from great developers. Really loving the browser so far, I highly recommend trying it and I look forward to what’s in store!

Reloading issue

This browser is really great, but there is an issue in reloading. When you reload, it sort of gets stuck, and whether that is a WiFi issue or a browser issue, it is not the main problem. The problem is that when you try to scroll down on the page while reloading (which most browsers allow you to do) it starts the reload bar back from the start and it goes back to the top of the page. When that happens, for some reason it just doesn’t reload and the reload bar is stuck. It might be a WiFi issue but I personally think not. I heard that you address suggestions from the comments in your updates so that’s why I’m sending this review. Other than the probably rare problem, I think this is a really great browser and would recommend buying it to anyone. Also, for some other feature ideas, you could make it that when you reload, the reload button turns into an X button and you can cancel the reload, like other sites let you do.

Jesus is my Lord and Saviour!
As someone who values online privacy and security, I've been on the lookout for a web browser that puts my data protection first. After trying out the Quiche Browser, I can confidently say this app is headed in the right direction.The core selling point of Quiche Browser is its unwavering commitment to user privacy. By default, it blocks ads, trackers, cookie banners, and other intrusive elements that compromise your online privacy. What's more, Quiche Browser does not collect any usage data or personal information, nor does it require you to create an account. This zero-data collection policy is a refreshing change from many mainstream browsers that monetize user data.One area where Quiche could improve is cross-device synchronization. While the app works well on a single device, the lack of iCloud or other cloud sync support means you can't easily access your bookmarks, history, and settings across multiple iOS devices. Implementing secure sync capabilities would make Quiche an even more compelling privacy-focused browser option.Overall, Quiche Browser is a solid choice for users who prioritize online privacy and want to minimize their digital footprint. With its robust ad/tracker blocking and data non-collection policies, it provides a clean, distraction-free browsing experience. While the absence of cross-device sync is a limitation, Quiche is still a step in the right direction for privacy-conscious mobile browsing.

Fixed: • Minor visual glitches around some favorite icons in dark mode. (Thanks, Josh!) • Missing image for Paste and Search in the expanded address bar context menu. (Thanks, zoë!)
