a browser built for speed and focus.
Open source and privacy-first — a fast, lightweight Electron browser with a minimal interface. No bloat, no tracking playbook, just speed and focus.
Privacy and control, built in
Axis settings put you in charge — block trackers, lock down HTTPS, tune JavaScript, and shape the interface without digging through menus.
Built-in ad blocker
Block ads and known trackers with filter lists — enabled out of the box.
HTTPS-only mode
Get warned before insecure HTTP sites load, so you stay on safer connections.
JavaScript control
Allow or disable JavaScript when you want faster, minimal page loads.
Instant theming
Switch dark or light mode, pick an accent color, enable gradients, and set sidebar position.
Built in public.
Built for focus.
Most browsers are engagement machines — chrome everywhere, defaults you didn't choose, business models built on what you click. Axis is a deliberate bet against that: open source, sidebar-first, and quiet enough to disappear while you work.
Open source, full stop
The repo is public, the issues are public, and the binary is something you can audit. Fork it, fix it, or follow along — no black box.
Sidebar-first by design
Tabs live on the side — reachable, not rammed into a top bar. The page gets the width; the browser stays out of your line of sight.
No attention economy
No sponsored new-tab page, no feed where a homepage should be, no silent analytics empire. Axis doesn't need to monetize your habits to survive.
