Vieb is a browser for those who want to do a lot with the keyboard. The operation is inspired by Vim: you use keys and commands to navigate, follow links and change settings. You can adjust the key combinations according to your own way of working.

You can put page shapes next to each other with split windows. Containers keep cookies separated from different tab groups, which can be useful if you use multiple accounts. You will also receive settings for website rights, downloads, cache and cookies. The built-in help is also accessible offline with F1.

Vieb contains ad blocking and supports own filter lists. The interface and font size are customizable and you can also use the mouse. However, the keyboard control is the reason to choose this browser. Count on a learning period if you've never worked with Vim-like modes and assignments.

Who is it for?

You like to use keyboard shortcuts or you already know Vim. Even if you regularly compare two websites next to each other or want to separate accounts, Vieb offers targeted possibilities.

Getting started

Choose the official stable download for your system. Open after the first start the help with F1 and practice tracking links and switching between tabs before setting up your own key combinations.

Privacy

Containers help keep cookies and sessions separate. You can set up website permissions, WebRTC policies and filter lists. Such settings do not automatically make you anonymous to websites or your network administrator.

Good to know

The operation requires more convenience than a normal browser. You need to maintain a custom configuration yourself.

Please note

Do not adjust all security settings simultaneously: different permissions may disrupt websites. Keep the browser and underlying Chrome version updated.

Our verdict

Vieb is especially interesting when keyboard control can be shown to help you with daily work. The containers and split display give you more than just a collection of keyboard shortcuts. For those who simply want to click and read, the extra learning curve is less attractive. Therefore first try the built-in help and a few navigation commands; only then it pays to create an extensive own configuration.
