Horse Browser

Horse came up on my Twitter (X) feed after the news that the folks behind Arc were pivoting to build another browser. Seems pretty interesting and like a lightweight version of Arc that could be a good alternative for power users.

thanks for hunting horse @gabe <3 hello product hunt! i’m pascal pixel, designer and coding person. last time i was here, i launched a clock, but this time i really went all in… i built a browser! two years ago i met someone who was building a command palette extension for chrome because, as he put it, “tabs suck”. naturally, i asked, “why not just fix tabs?” and he replied, “pfff, how can anyone fix tabs?” …and that's when a possible solution, trails, hit me like lightning i couldn’t explain it to anyone no matter how hard i tried (still difficult), so i just started building an mvp. i honestly thought it’d take two months to pull off and launch on product hunt, but here we are two years later i'm mostly building it for myself, but turns out a whole bunch of other people like it too. so that's really rewarding and it feels like i'm making something useful for others [humblebrag 9000]

I've used Horse for the last 4 months, switching over from Arc (before it was cool 😂). I switched because (1) I love vertical tabs (2) For all the shiny features of Arc, I found the spaces more overwhelming than they gave me a feeling of organisation and being in control. Arc is a lot of fun little ideas put together but eventually it felt like less than the sum of its parts. I really wanted a simple browser where I can can organise myself around my projects easily so I can be more intentional, and Horse 🐴 is that for me. It's early days so it doesn't do everything, and isn't for everyone. I know Pascal has a million comments asking for full chrome extension support to come sooner! But if you are borderline ADHD or someone who saves a lot of pages and wants to get their projects done, I really recommend it. Excited to see where this ends up 🚀

I support anyone who takes the utterly infinitely complex task of trying to solve tab & link management :) I saw this on Twitter the other day as well! Love the concept of Trails, definitely a unique way to manage the browsing experience. But on it's own I think it still leaves a lot of things to be solved. Curious to see how it develops overtime. All the best @pascalpixel

Great idea!!! congrats! i suffer the same problem, one thing thou, i would of name it "trails"... why did horse came up as a name? would love to hear the stroy

Congratulations @gabe @pascalpixel on the launch of Trails®! This sidebar is an innovative way to browse the internet. The organized groups make it easy to follow the flow of projects and tasks without tabs or bookmarks

I swear I was looking for a browser like this! Is it heavier than Arc?
