An opinionated browser, built on Chromium.·dao.msgbyte.com

Dao Browser is an open-source Chromium-based web browser for macOS featuring vertical tabs, a browser-native AI agent with long-term memory, a Spotlight-style command bar, split view, picture-in-picture, and a content-first browser chrome. Users can bring their own AI model (Gemini, GPT, Claude, or others) and configure host-aware 'skills' that adapt the AI agent's behavior per website. It is built on real Chromium and supports legacy Manifest V2 extensions.
