nEXT Browser

nEXT is the fastest productivity browser. It is designed from the ground up to be customizable for your workflow. nEXT Browser is the infinitely EXTensible browser.

Powerful Features

Fast tab switching

Switch easily between your open tabs by fuzzy search. If you are looking for http://www.example.com, you could type in ele, exa, epl, and any other valid series of letters. In a future release, typing any semantically related word will give you a fuzzy search of your open tabs and let you quickly find which page you were looking for.

History as a tree

History is represented as a tree that you can traverse. More complex than the “forwards-backwards” abstraction found in other browsers, the tree makes sure you never lose track of where you’ve been.

In the example below, the User performs the following actions:

1. Starts page Fish
2. Visits page Amphibian
3. Returns to page Fish
4. Visits page Reptile
5. Returns to page Fish
6. Executes forwards keybind in history

It is at this point that a normal browser would NOT be able to navigate you forwards to your visit of Amphibian. Instead of erasing your history, nEXT offers smart navigation and prompts the user. Do you wish to go forwards to Amphibian or to Reptile?

Lightning fast navigation

nEXT is lightweight and fast. The interface does not get in your way, and everything can be done by keyboard. You are free to fully focus on your task unburdened by cumbersome UI.

Link Hints provide you with the ability to instantly jump to any link on the page, or even open it in a new tab.

Fuzzy completion means intelligent completion. Find your bookmarks, open up new links, or switch tabs with the power of fuzzy completion.
