Airplane: Fast Ad-Free Browsing

Web browser designed for a faster, more focused browsing experience, blocking ads and trackers by default

What is Airplane?

Airplane is a free and open source web browser that focuses on speed, simplicity, and privacy protection. Based on Chromium, Airplane strips away unnecessary features and clutter, resulting in a clean interface where webpages load swiftly without getting bogged down by ads, trackers, and other cruft.

Out of the box, Airplane blocks online trackers and ads with its built-in blocker powered byDisconnect's protection lists. This prevents companies from profiling users and building up creepy data dossiers. Pages load faster without the ad bloat, and battery life is preserved.

The browser also emphasizes usability with smart gestures, intuitive shortcuts, and quality of life enhancements. For example, tabs can be switched by swiping left/right on the address bar. Long pressing backspace goes back a whole page instead of just one letter. The Omnibar provides advanced shortcut support and predictive results powered by a privacy-respecting algorithm.

Overall, Airplane aims to deliver a lightweight yet full-featured browsing experience optimized for speed, usability, and protection against invasive ads and trackers. The minimalist interface gets out of the way, putting users in control without unnecessary clutter or bloat.
