What it is
Mind Browser is a free, MIT-licensed Chromium browser with five sidebar agents: Planner, Navigator, Researcher, Writer, and Analyst. They handle planning, browser control, source research, writing, and analysis using supported model providers or Ollama on the user’s machine. With Ollama selected, prompts and page text stay local. The browser includes News Hub with six sections, political-spectrum labels, deduplicated briefings, Google Trends, Polymarket odds, and Kalshi questions. Finance Hub offers chart ranges, indicators, company fundamentals, industry news, trending tickers, and watchlists without API keys or subscriptions. Finance data is typically fifteen minutes behind for US equities, and there is no broker integration or order tool. Other tools include Shields network blocking, split view, notes, command palette, extensions, PDF annotation, screenshots, and a per-process task manager. It supports macOS 12 or later on Apple Silicon and Windows 10/11 on x64. Chrome bookmarks and history cannot currently be imported. The free plan is free, billed Free forever.
