Toasty Browser

A lightweight web browser for old computers

About

Toasty Browser is a minimal web browser for GNU/Linux (i686), based on the Basilisk engine. It was optimized for weak CPUs such as Intel Atom and similar low-end processors.

Toasty works directly with ALSA (no PulseAudio or PipeWire required), and does not use hardware acceleration — it was designed for systems using Flinux, which runs with Xvesa.

The goal of Toasty Browser is not to be the fastest browser in the world, but to be usable on computers where modern browsers like Firefox or Chromium are nearly impossible to run smoothly.

Engine

Toasty uses the same rendering engine as Basilisk — the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), derived from Mozilla’s legacy Gecko engine. This provides classic XUL interface support and compatibility with some older Firefox extensions.
