Ora

Ora is an open‑source web browser for macOS built with Swift and the WebKit rendering engine. It offers a native macOS interface that emphasizes a vertical sidebar for easy navigation, alongside vertical tabs that replace the traditional horizontal tab bar. The browser includes built‑in ad blocking and a privacy‑first design, aiming to reduce visual clutter while maintaining security.

The application introduces “spaces,” a feature that lets users group tabs into separate workspaces for better organization across different tasks or projects. Tab management is handled through drag‑and‑drop and keyboard shortcuts, allowing quick rearrangement and switching between tabs and spaces without leaving the main view.

Released under the MIT license, Ora is free to use and positioned as a community‑driven alternative to commercial browsers that provide similar vertical navigation and workspace concepts. Its stable release is intended for macOS users who prefer a minimalist, native browsing experience with built‑in privacy controls.
