Cargo
A browser with almost no UI.
Cargo is a browser for people that live on the internet and hate mice. Cargo can be controlled using only a few keyboard shortcuts. Cargo only includes the most useful features of a browser, this way unnecessary features can't disturb you while surfing the interwebz. I built cargo, because I did not use most features that my browsers of choice(chrome and firefox) had.
Cargo is still in a very early state, but it is already usable, please help me developing it.
You can use one of our precompiled [binaries](https://github.com/herber/cargo/releases/latest) to try out or install cargo.
## Features
- __Chrome__: Cargo uses electron's webview tags, which are powered by chromium.
- __Tabs__: Like any other browser cargo supports tabs, but it hides them from you.
- __Devtools__: Cargo has full support for chrome's devtools.
- __Cross platform__: Cargo looks good on all platforms, even the titlebar on windows looks good.
- __Simple__: Cargo only has the features most people need.
- __Tab restore__: Cargo will automatically restore your previously opened tabs, when you open it.
- __Very cute__: 🚂🚋🚋 Cargo(delivering the web to your home).
