Quiche Browser is a rather astonishing app from the one-man indie developer Greg de J./Quiche Industries. (What a killer domain name that is.) Quiche Browser is a very robust, exquisitely designed, stunningly handsome web browser exclusively for iPhone. Just iPhone — although an iPad version is currently in beta. I switched to it as my default iPhone web browser last summer, thinking I’d only stick with it for a day or two before going back to Safari, and I wound up sticking with it for a few weeks. I did go back to Safari, but it was a remarkably close call. So close that, today, I’m going to give it another try. (And I was so enamored during my month-long affair with Quiche that I gladly subscribed to Quiche Plus for $27/year to support such a remarkable app.)

Out of the box, every single aspect of Quiche Browser’s UI and feature set is designed with obvious thought and care. But it also supports a rich array of settings to tweak the design. You can customize the appearance style of the toolbar, the location of the toolbar, the buttons on the toolbar. Quiche brings to iOS something very much akin to AppKit’s Customize Toolbar from the Mac, but if anything, what Quiche implements is more customizable. The typography throughout the app is exquisite. It doesn’t support Safari extensions but it has its own built-in content blocker. And, of course, it has built-in support for Kagi, the world’s best search engine.

What got me thinking about Quiche Browser again today was this tweet on Mastodon from the developer:

One of the many reasons I made Quiche Browser was to get a per-website JavaScript kill switch in my toolbar.

But these days I’m even tempted to disable JavaScript everywhere and enable it only where needed.

A simple one-tap “JS” button you can toggle on any website. I missed this button when I was test-driving Quiche a few months ago. Every browser should have this button. It’s almost unbelievable how much it improves so many websites.

That “JS” button alone isn’t why you should check out Quiche. It’s the whole thing. It’s just so thoughtful. So utterly modern in its appearance and features, but old-school in its hyperfocus on serving you, the user, through craftsmanship.

Buying a video doorbell is worth it for several reasons. They’re convenient if you get a lot of deliveries or visitors, as they let you glance at a phone alert to decide whether it’s necessary to drop everything and go to the door. They can provide peace of mind, too, particularly if you’re heading out […]
