Enable more advanced customization than your default browser. Floorp is based on the smart Firefox, and enhances functionality and flexibility while maintaining security and privacy.

What can Floorp do for you?

  • Various Ways to Browse the Web: Floorp features workspaces that integrate tab groups with containers that can separate login information. Additionally, you can easily access social media and chats through web panels.
  • Various Control Methods Supported: Browse more efficiently with mouse gestures and customizable keyboard shortcuts. Of course, it's also designed to be easily operated with a mouse.
  • Development and Research Focused: Floorp actively pursues experimental browser development. It's a browser that continuously incorporates new technologies and ideas, and energetically improves based on community feedback.
