- Glide is an extensible, keyboard-focused web browser, forked from Firefox with a TypeScript config for customization.
- It allows users to define custom key mappings, access web extensions API, spawn processes, and define macros without the restrictions found in traditional browsers.
- Glide introduces modes similar to (neo)vim, including normal, insert, and ignore modes, enhancing keyboard navigation and usability.
- Features include a hint mode for keyboard navigation, a fuzzy finder for tabs, and a which-key inspired UI for key mapping reminders.
- Glide is designed for users who want a hackable browser, offering the ability to customize the UI and integrate with other tools seamlessly.
- Currently in early alpha, Glide is available for macOS and Linux, with plans to expand its APIs for even greater customization.
