Liri Browser For Mac

Liri Browser is an open source app based on the popular Chromium architecture that seeks to do away with unnecessary functions and interface elements in an effort to offer a minimalistic browsing experience.

Unfortunately, the application does not provide a number of features that no web browser should lack and includes several bugs that hinder its functionality.

Whenever you open a new tab, Liri Browser displays your dashboard, where you can add websites that you wish to be able to access on a moment’s notice. However, we were unable to insert any web pages during our tests.

Liri Browser offers a useful feature that allows you to do away with the standard address bar by integrating into your tabs, thus reducing the size of the interface.

Organizing your tabs is not particularly easy, and the app lacks many features that could help you out in this regard. For instance, you cannot pin or rearrange them, open links in new tabs or resize them when a large number of them are displayed at the same time.

Moreover,  Liri Browser cannot recover your last session if the app crashes for whatever reason.

While you can access additional themes in the app’s Settings menu, we were not able to change Liri Browser’s appearance in any way.

Liri Browser includes a basic download manager, but files are automatically renamed when saved on your Mac, making it difficult to keep track of what you have downloaded.

Moreover, while you can view your browsing history, it is impossible to clear it, which is an almost essential feature for any such application.

Among other functions that are missing from Liri Browser, we can mention a zoom tool, additional security features and support for add-ons.

Liri Browser is an application that shows promise and could prove to be an adequate alternative to the more popular web browsers available. Sadly, it currently lacks a large number of important features and comes with several operational bugs that render some of its existing functions unusable.
