Flux Browser

Flux is an experimental Chromium-based desktop browser built with Electron.

The project exists to explore how browsers behave under the hood and how small UI and system-level decisions affect usability, performance, and interaction flow. Rather than focusing on end-user features, Flux is built as a learning-focused, iteration-driven system.em.

This is not a Chrome replacement — it’s a hands-on exploration of browser internals, UI structure, and navigation behavior..


Features

  • Native desktop application (Electron)
  • Real Chromium web rendering via webview
  • Custom browser UI (address bar, navigation controls)
  • Multi-tab browsing
  • Tab closing with smart fallback
  • Drag-and-drop tab reordering
  • Incognito / private mode
  • Ad & tracker blockingking
  • Native right-click context menus

Download (Windows)

Flux Browser v0.2 is available as a Windows installer.

Download from GitHub Releases:
https://github.com/flux3tor/flux-browser/releases

Note: Flux ships its own Chromium runtime for consistency, so the installer size is larger than the application code itself. This is expected for Electron apps..


Status

Flux is currently a developer preview (v0.2).

The core browser architecture, tab system, and privacy features are in place. Development now focuses on refinement, UX polish, and deeper system exploration..

Planned next:

  • Visual theming improvements
  • Performance tuning
  • Packaging refinements
  • Extended content controls

Run from source

git clone https://github.com/flux3tor/flux-browser.git

cd flux-browser
npm install
npm startrt
