What Mind Browser is
Mind Browser is a Chromium browser with five sidebar agents that read pages, carry out tasks, and return results using models on the user's machine. Planner, Navigator, Researcher, Writer, and Analyst handle planning, browser control, source research, writing, and analysis. Supported providers include Ollama, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, and OpenRouter; with Ollama selected, prompts and page text stay on the device. The browser also includes split view, notes, a command palette, Chrome Web Store extensions, PDF annotation, screenshots, and a per-process task manager. Shields blocks ad, tracker, and fingerprinting domains at the network layer by default. News Hub presents briefings and trend information, while Finance Hub includes charts, indicators, company fundamentals, industry news, trending tickers, and watchlists. Finance data is typically fifteen minutes behind for US equities, and there is no broker integration or order tool. Mind Browser is free, needs no account, and is MIT licensed. The current release supports macOS 12 or later on Apple Silicon and Windows 10/11 on x64; it has no Intel Mac or Windows ARM build. Chrome bookmarks and history cannot currently be imported.
