A browser built for people who don't want extra features, notifications, helpful assistance, or training wheels. You can re-enable some removed features (if you must), but you'll have to know what you are doing.
A derivative browser from LibreWolf and Firefox, the Yikwid Browser is more about what isn't there, rather that what is.
Yikwid assumes the user can handle themselves. Yikwid aims to default the browsing experience as much "do not distub" as possible, removing any alerts or prompts. If you want a feature enabled, go into the settings and enable it.
Yikwid follows the principle that a browser should manage URLs and render web pages. Additional features are either not a browser function, or should be handled by extensions.
Yikwid will try to do what the user asks, and will not try to find another solution or attempt to "help" by second guessing what was requested. If you ask for something impossible (e.g. an invalid domain), you will get a failure message.
Here are some changes Yikwid makes that are different from most browsers:
Yikwid is currently only built for Linux, with a package available for Debian/Ubuntu. Updates require manually downloading the new version, but setting up a Debian repository for package updates is in the future. Package builds for other distros may also happen, but no immediate plans.
Builds for Windows are also a target, but secondary to Linux builds. MacOS builds are not planned, but might happen if a volunteer steps up.
