10 days left for the Next browser crowdfunding campaign

Next is a productivity focused, infinitely extensible power-browser. It comes with Emacs / VI bindings and is completely programmable. You can transform it any way you like.

In just the last months, we've released no less than 3 new versions! Lots of exciting features in there, from hooks to continuous improvements to the "minibuffer" (a.k.a. the "power bar") to empower the users in a never-ending quest of fuzzy-searching everything!

The project has been taking off seriously these last couple of weeks. We would like to thank our 27 contributors , and all the users and testers that asked for new features, suggested little improvements or reported bugs. Thanks!

So what exactly can you do with Next?

• Go blazing fast when browsing the web! For starters, Next is keyboard driven and has fuzzy-completion everywhere, but the true efficiency gains comes next.

• You can write new commands for anything you want . It gives you the full power of the programming language at hand, without restricting you to a browser's API . You can git-clone the current URL's repository, download Youtube videos and fuzzy-search for local files with open-file .

• You can write hooks to extend your browsing experience. Write a function that is called when a given network event happens, or slightly modify the behaviour of built-in commands to fit your needs – perfectly .

• Every tab history is saved as a tree, meaning you don't loose any URL when going back. Want an outlook of the whole history? Call the buffer-history-tree command!

  

• Press the M-. key to get a list of the page headers, fuzzy-search them and go straight to them.

• And much more, as you would expect from your daily driver: adblocking, proxy and Tor support, Javascript blocker, etc.

We need your support!

Next is being developed by a small team of computer scientists with a passion for changing the world of browsers. We rely on your support to keep development going!

Last month we started a crowdfunding campaign so that we can get to work on the next version. The campaign is ending on Friday, October 4th , and we've still got a long way to go. Only your support can help us go forward, and don't worry if you have only $1 to spare, every little bit helps!

We are also actively looking for people who would like to be sponsored by us. If you are interested, get in touch by writing at [email protected] .
