I'm excited to announce Snowcat - a new open source web browser I've been building.

Snowcat is focused on two key principles: speed and privacy. It uses a brand new browser engine designed specifically for high performance. Pages load incredibly fast even on lower powered machines.

In terms of privacy, Snowcat takes the approach of collecting zero user data. There is no tracking, no ads, and no data storage without your explicit permission.

Some key features:

• Custom browser engine: Built from scratch for speed and efficiency. Not based on Chromium or Firefox.
• Minimal resource usage: Small install size and low memory usage. Runs well on older hardware.
• No tracking/ads: Zero data collection. Snowcat won't store your history or personal info.
• Open source: Completely open source under GPLv3. All code available on Codeberg.

I built Snowcat because I felt there was a need in the market for a fast, open source browser that respected user privacy. I wanted to give users more choice beyond the few major players.

The project is ready for wider testing and contribution.

You can grab Snowcat from the project homepage. Please file bugs for any issues found, and feel free to submit PRs with any improvements. I'm excited to see where the community takes Snowcat next!

Let me know if you have any feedback on the browser or any features you'd like to see added!
