BeachBrowser – macOS Ad-Blocking Mini Browser πŸ„πŸΌ‍♀️🌊🏝️

BeachBrowser – macOS Ad-Blocking Mini Browser πŸ„πŸΌ‍♀️🌊🏝️

Hello friends,

Like many of you, I’ve been frustrated by YouTube’s recent adblock detection changes and the tightening of Chrome Web Store policies.

To work around this, I started building a Mac native mini browser app with ad blocking capability, using the same filter lists as uBlock Origin, as well as some additional filters I have included for YouTube.

✅ What’s working

  • Blocks YouTube ads during playback, on the homepage, and in the sidebar
  • PIP Mode (always stays on top of other window)

πŸ”§ In progress

  • Wildcard element selector UI (custom block rules) (mostly working)
  • Add custom rules
  • Import custom filter list
  • VPN
  • Bookmarks (mostly working)

πŸ’‘ Looking for feedback

I’d love to hear feature suggestions from the community. Let me know what functionality you’d want in a lightweight, ad-blocking Mac browser and I will try to have it included before the first release.

I’ll be posting a download link and the source code on GitHub soon. Follow this thread for updates!
