The Horse web browser offers a totally different way to browse the internet, and its innovative approach is ideal for researchers and tab hoarders alike.
When it comes to web browsers , I am an inveterate tab hoarder . It’s my main vice and is a hard habit to kick. I often find myself falling down the “Wikipedia hole,” opening tab after tab on topics that interest me, and before long I’m confronted with a mass of pages and no idea how I got to where I am.
I’ll be honest: I was skeptical of Horse at first. Could I really break tabs’ vice-like grip over me? What would happen to those 400+ tabs currently waiting for me in Firefox? I know they’re still out there, after all. Picking up Horse would mean abandoning them all for good. Let’s start with Trails, the key feature of Horse. Every time you click a link, a new page appears in the sidebar nested underneath the last page you were on. After a few clicks, you start to see a clear hierarchy of where you’ve navigated on the web. It’s something I quickly found myself enjoying.
You don’t have to open a SubTrail by clicking a new link — you manually open a new SubTrail and type in your link or search query instead. That’s handy for organization, say if you are reading a page and get an idea to visit a related website and want to keep the two pages closely associated within the Trail list. You can also create “SideTrails,” which are additional pages added to a Trail that are not nested underneath another page.
One absence that I’ve really noticed is the lack of extension support. I use a lot of fantastic browser extensions with Firefox, from privacy-protecting safeguards like Consent-O-Matic to money savers such as Honey. Almost none of these work in Horse. While it has its own password manager and comes with two external extensions included , it’s not much to go on compared to rival products. The developer says they aim to add broader extension support but that it’s out of their budget right now.
