  • ChromiumbrowsersActiveBSD-3-Clause2026-07-05The Chromium Authors — The open source browser project whose codebase underlies Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi and most other modern browsers. Preserving it means preserving the engine that renders most of today's web — whoever its corporate steward may be tomorrow.
  • FalkonbrowsersActiveGPL-3.0-or-later2026-07-05KDE Community — KDE's lightweight web browser (formerly QupZilla) built on Qt WebEngine, with native KDE integration and built-in ad blocking. It keeps browser diversity alive within the Qt world.
  • GNOME Web (Epiphany)browsersActiveGPL-3.0-or-later2026-07-05GNOME Project — GNOME Web, the desktop's native browser built on WebKitGTK — a deliberately simple, distraction-free window onto the web that keeps a second independent engine alive on Linux.
  • LibreWolfbrowsersActiveMPL-2.02026-07-05LibreWolf community — Community fork of Firefox stripped of telemetry and tuned for privacy out of the box, with uBlock Origin included and settings hardened by default. It shows how free licensing lets communities correct the course of even flagship software.
  • Mozilla FirefoxbrowsersActiveMPL-2.02026-07-02Mozilla Foundation / Mozilla Corporation — Free and open source web browser developed by Mozilla, heir to the Netscape lineage and today the only major browser built on an engine (Gecko) that is not controlled by an advertising company. It popularised tabbed browsing and extensions, and it remains the reference point for an open, standards-driven and user-respecting web.
  • qutebrowserbrowsersActiveGPL-3.0-or-later2026-07-05Florian Bruhin & contributors — Keyboard-driven browser with vim-like bindings and a minimal interface, written in Python on Qt WebEngine. A living reminder that browsers can serve one focused idea of efficiency instead of the lowest common denominator.
  • Tor BrowserbrowsersActiveBSD-3-Clause / MPL-2.02026-07-02The Tor Project — Hardened Firefox bundled with the Tor anonymity network, routing traffic through three encrypted relays so neither websites nor networks can identify or track the user. For journalists, activists and citizens under censorship it is often the only usable window to the open internet.
