Glyde is a fast browser that respects you, even on a weak laptop.
Early preview. Expect rough edges.
Built on Mozilla open source technology. Not officially associated with Mozilla or its products.
What you get
Glyde is in an early preview. Each item shows whether it is in the build you can download or still being built.
Private by default
No telemetry, no studies and no adverts. Strict tracking protection and secure connections are on from the first launch.
Google search, built in
One search engine in the address bar. Suggestions are off, so nothing is sent while you type.
Light on weak laptops
Fewer background processes, a smaller memory footprint and less disk activity, so older machines stay smooth.
A calm start
A short setup guide, a gentle opening animation and a home page that tells you what is new.
Update alerts
Glyde tells you when a new version is ready. The check runs once a day at most, and you can switch it off.
Tabs your way
Top, bottom, left, right or floating. Firefox's own vertical tabs are the starting point.
Make it yours
Fonts, colours, text size, rounded or square corners and more, in a settings page that opens as a tab.
Cirkle ID and sync
Sign in with Cirkle ID and sync your settings. Data is locked on your device before it is uploaded.
Szimon assistant
An optional assistant in a side panel that only sees what you choose to share.

iPhone and iPad
Apple only allows its own browser engine on iOS, so Glyde there will be a web app instead.
Getting started on Windows
- DownloadPick the Windows file above.
- UnzipRight click the file and choose Extract All.
- RunOpen the glyde folder and double click glyde.exe.
Good to know. Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" box because Glyde is new and not yet signed. Choose More info, then Run anyway. If it says a file ending in .dll is missing, install the free Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (the X64 version) and try again.
Privacy in plain words
Glyde does not collect your browsing history or send usage reports. Searches go to Google, because that is the search engine built in, and Google's own privacy policy covers them. Read the full Privacy Policy.
Glyde is for people aged 13 and over. See Age and Young Users.
