Design Philosophy
Small and Pure
X Browser’s implementation minimally relies on large third-party frameworks and SDKs, striving to use native operating system code. This is the fundamental reason why X Browser can remain small and fast.
Pure functionality, no features unrelated to browsing. In addition, the interaction design is also pure. Like Chrome, everything except the browser’s main UI is a page - homepage, bookmarks, history, downloads, settings, etc. all have the same interaction experience as regular pages.
Keep It Simple, Yet Flexible
X Browser focuses on the fundamental browsing experience, keeping things simple and avoiding overly complex and redundant features. Most users can use X Browser smoothly without any configuration, while for users with more requirements, we balance flexibility through the following approaches:
- Built-in extension points allow easy interaction with mature third-party applications to enhance browser functionality. For example, you can bind third-party downloaders to enhance download capabilities, or use third-party video players to enhance video playback.
- Supports user scripts, allowing browser functionality to be extended through Tampermonkey scripts or regular scripts, such as page translation, smart next page, etc.
- Provides extensive customization options - you can customize the browser menu, place the search bar at the bottom, etc.
- Offers many gesture settings to make browser operations more efficient and convenient.
In short, although X Browser looks simple, it provides users with unlimited exploration space. You can always tune X Browser to suit your taste. For more exploration, please refer to site articles.
Privacy and Security Focused
- Apart from necessary technical frameworks, avoids integrating any other third-party SDKs, greatly reducing the risk of user data leakage.
- Does not bind your phone number, nor any third-party social accounts. If you need to sync data, you only need to provide your email address as an account identifier.
- Provides many privacy and security related options, such as privacy mode, encrypted access to bookmarks/history, disable page access to clipboard, prevent pages from directly jumping to third-party apps, etc.
Key Features
Ad Blocking
X Browser has built-in ad blocking functionality, supporting subscription to mainstream blocking rules (such as EasyList, AdGuard, etc.). It can block web ads, video ads, popups, etc., while maintaining page loading speed. You only need to subscribe to some third-party blocking rules to achieve good blocking results. For details, please refer to Ad Blocking Introduction.
Built-in Tampermonkey Script Support
While meeting the basic browsing experience, X Browser supports user scripts to maximize flexibility and extensibility, ensuring the browser itself remains simple and easy to use. X Browser does not require installing a Tampermonkey management plugin - you can install Tampermonkey scripts directly. For details, please refer to How to Use Tampermonkey User Scripts in X Browser
Video Sniffing
The resource sniffing feature helps you quickly find video/audio resources on pages. You can choose to use third-party players for online playback or download and save. For details, please refer to How to Cast Videos to Other Devices.
Third-Party Downloader Support
X Browser supports binding multiple professional third-party downloaders (such as 1DM, ADM, Xunlei, etc.) to enable advanced features like multi-threaded downloads, BT torrent downloads, M3U8 video downloads, etc. For details, please refer to How to Bind Third-Party Downloader.
Gesture Controls
Provides rich gesture settings, including long-press gestures, quick touch gestures, etc., making browser operations more efficient and convenient. You can customize various gesture actions to create your own unique operation experience.
Data Sync and Backup
Supports cloud account synchronization to backup bookmarks, history, settings and other data to the cloud. Also provides local automatic backup functionality to ensure your data is never lost.
We also provide a Bookmark Sync Assistant browser extension for syncing bookmarks between X Browser and desktop browsers.
