FixBrowser is a truly lightweight web browser created from scratch. It intentionally doesn't support JavaScript to make things faster and much less resource intensive. Instead it contains an updated set of scripts that fix and improve various websites.

It is designed from ground up with privacy as the major goal, using a whitelist approach for loading resources to avoid any unwanted tracking.

The browser is currently in Alpha stage, all the foundation blocks are there but needs more work. There is also FixProxy which is using the "backend" part of the browser (everything except the actual rendering) to be used with a regular web browser. It provides a safe way to browse the web and is more mature, I've been using it for multiple years as my primary means of browsing with good results.

This is a solar calendar system. According to the position of the Sun on the ecliptic, a tropical year (the time the Earth takes for one revolution around the Sun) is divided into twelve parts, which are known as the twelve solar months, numbered with the twelve Earthly Branches🪐. Each month is divided into two halves, the first named “Jie” (season) and the second named “Qi” (climate), totalling 24 periods, which are named according to the patterns in weather and natural phenomena that the ancient Chinese had drawn from their farming experience, and are now collectively named “the solar terms”.
