OpenExplorer
Application · Web browser / Android · 2026
A fast browser with its own password manager, tab containers and ad blocking.
A minimalist yet feature-rich Android browser on the WebView engine, with a configurable start page, tab containers and an encrypted password manager.
Tab containers (e.g. “Work” and “Private”) are separate profiles with their own cookies and site data, and incognito tabs have a profile of their own. The address bar suggests from search, history and bookmarks, can sit at the top or bottom and hides as you scroll.
The password manager encrypts data with an Android Keystore key, unlocks with a fingerprint and imports CSV from Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Bitwarden. On top of that: ad and tracker blocking, reader mode, translation, save to PDF and custom CSS or JavaScript per domain.
