Yab

Yab, at yetanotherbrowser.com, is a free native browser for the Mac. The name is short for Yet Another Browser, and its README describes it as a small, quiet browser for the Mac with an app for iPhone. Yab presents itself as an Arc-style Mac browser. There is also an Android app in alpha.

The window is a row of tabs, across the top or down the left, and the page. One field takes addresses and searches, and it finishes addresses from your own history. Tabs can be pinned and sorted into folders and spaces, and ⌘K finds any open tab. Reading mode, floating video, split view and Peek are built in, along with an ad blocker and a shortcut that hides any element on a site for good.

Pages run on WebKit by default. On Apple silicon you can switch a tab or a site to Chromium, where Chrome extensions, Chrome DevTools and the Chrome Web Store apply.

Agents from the AI providers you already pay for can work in tabs of their own. They use your sign-ins, never see a private tab, and ask before they send, pay or delete.

Yab has no account. Tabs, history and settings stay on the Mac, and passwords live in the macOS keychain or the password manager you already use. Sync between your Macs and iPhone is optional and end-to-end encrypted.

The source for the Mac, iPhone and Android apps went public on November 15, 2026 at github.com under Apache 2.0. The Yab name, logo and app icons are trademarks of Serafim Korablev and aren't covered by that license. On a Mac with Xcode 26 or later, ./build.sh makes Yab Dev, a development copy that runs beside the official app.

The Mac app needs macOS 15.4 or later. Yab for iPhone is in public beta on TestFlight, and the Android app is an alpha APK on Yab's site.

Pricing: Yab for Mac is a free download from https://yetanotherbrowser.com/download. Agents run through the AI providers you already pay for. The source is open under Apache 2.0, which doesn't cover the Yab name, logo or app icons. Checked November 15, 2026.
