Why Peppermint

Modern browsers are cluttered. This one isn’t.

Endless toolbars, telemetry, sponsored shortcuts and interfaces that fight for your attention. Peppermint strips it all away and keeps what helps you get things done.

Focus first

A calm, Zen-inspired interface where tabs breathe and nothing fights for your attention.

  • Vertical tabs that breathe
  • Command palette for power users
  • Rich, quiet homepage

Private by default

No telemetry, no studies, no Pocket, no sponsored shortcuts. Hardened preferences out of the box.

  • No telemetry or studies
  • Built-in ad and cookie blocking
  • Hardened Firefox defaults

Tuned for speed

Lean builds and smart resource handling keep Peppermint light on old and new machines alike.

  • Optimised startup and memory
  • Idle tabs unload on their own
  • Underpowered mode for low battery
