GoKawiilOffice Commun launches Search, a 3MB WebKit browser for macOS
Design studio Office Commun has released Search, a minimal macOS web browser built on Apple's WebKit engine rather than Chromium. The free app, available directly or via Homebrew, requires macOS 14 or later and takes up roughly 3MB of disk space, offering a single address/search field, collapsible pinned tabs, a reading mode, and a permanent element-hiding tool for banners and overlays.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By relying on WebKit instead of bundling Chromium, the browser can stay extremely small and fast, which could appeal to users frustrated with resource-heavy alternatives like Chrome or Arc. Its stripped-down design, without sync accounts, start pages or suggestion sidebars, positions it as a niche tool for people who want a browser rather than a platform, though this also means it lacks broader ecosystem features many users expect.
- Search is a free macOS browser built on WebKit, weighing about 3MB.
- It strips away toolbars, start pages, and accounts for a minimal interface.
- Features include address/search autocomplete, pinnable tabs, reading mode, and persistent element hiding.
