Bombadillo is a non-web browser, designed for a growing list of protocols operating outside of the web.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Seamless browsing between multiple protocols, including Gopher, Gemini, Finger, and your local file system.
- Additional support for telnet and the web through third-party applications – http/https connection support is opt-in, and is configurable in a few different ways.
- Privacy focused – does not store usage or browsing data, will only store items you instruct it to (bookmarks, gemini certificates, settings and downloaded files).
- Does not send/transmit anything to anyone that you do not instruct it to.
- Uses Vi/Vim-inspired keybindings and an easy command system.
- Navigable history within a session (no storage of session data).
