Welcome to Min! This document explains the basics of how to use Min, and some of the features available. If you have questions, feel free to open an issue. If you're interested in contributing to Min, see these instructions for building Min or contributing translations.
In Min, the tabs and the search bar are combined into one row to save space. To open the search bar, click on the current tab.
To close the tab, hover over the tab and click on the icon. If you have a trackpad, you can also close the tab by hovering over it and swiping up.
The searchbar shows information from a few different sources:
- Your history and bookmarks.
- This includes not only the title and URL of these pages, but also the text content of the page.
- Other tabs you currently have open.
- Search terms that are generated based on the page you are viewing.
- These are generated entirely on your computer - we don't collect any of your browing data to do this.
- Websites that are included in your hosts file.
If you set DuckDuckGo as your search engine, you'll also see search suggestions and information from the DuckDuckGo API, such as summaries of Wikipedia articles.
If you use DuckDuckGo, the searchbar will also autocomplete !bangs, which let you quickly search on various websites. Additionally, Min includes another set of shortcuts that let you quickly access things within the browser. You can see these in the list below; they'll always work regardless of what search engine you choose.
