Hilal Browser is a Firefox-based open source browser built as a patch and overlay layer on top of upstream Firefox ā not a bulk fork. It stays close to upstream Firefox so it can keep rebasing forward forever, while applying focused patches for custom branding, defaults, and behavior. Previously developed as Huma Browser, now relaunched as Hilal Browser. macOS & Windows builds available. Lightweight, transparent, and community-driven.

Hey Product Hunt! š
I'm the developer behind Hilal Browser a Firefox-based open source browser I've been building solo.
Unlike most Firefox forks that bulk-rename everything and diverge from upstream, Hilal Browser uses a focused patch + overlay system. This means:
ā Stays close to Firefox ā security updates come fast
ā Custom branding & defaults without the bloat
ā Fully open source (MPL 2.0)
ā macOS, Linux and Windows builds ready
This project started as "Huma Browser" and is now relaunched with a cleaner architecture and better docs.
Would love your feedback especially on what features you'd want in a community-driven browser. What's missing from browsers like Firefox or Brave that you wish existed? š
