Viola – A Calmer Web Browser

Viola, a new browser from an unnamed developer, launches with a focus on calmness and productivity, featuring workspaces, groups, splits, and a mini player, with no AI or extra apps. The browser runs on Chromium, supports extensions, and offers three tiers: Starter, Pro, and Lifetime. The product aims to reduce digital noise by keeping notifications quiet and organizing tabs by project.

A feature-rich browser that only wants to be a browser. No AI, no notes, no calendar, no inbox. Workspaces Personal, work and side projects, each sealed in its own space. Groups & Splits Cluster related tabs, then snap them side by side in one view. Mini Player Pop any video into a player that follows you between spaces. Notifications Downloads and alerts wait quietly until you're ready for them. “Groups and splits changed how I work. Every project sits exactly where my eyes expect it.” “The mini player follows me everywhere. Music on, tabs tidy, head clear. It stays out of the way.” “Work, teaching and personal life live in sealed workspaces. One click and I'm someone else entirely.” “It never shouts. Notifications wait quietly until I'm ready. That restraint is why it stuck.” Starter Perfect to explore Viola with the essentials for everyday browsing. Features Pro Popular Every power feature: simulator, splits everywhere, and deep customization. Features Lifetime Full power with custom options, priority support, and team-ready tools. Features Charlie is our email app: the same restraint, the same quiet defaults, pointed at your inbox instead of your tabs. Everything worth knowing before you make Viola your everyday browser. What makes Viola different? Workspaces, groups, splits and quiet notifications. Calm by default, with fast Chromium underneath. What can I customize? Nearly everything: corner radius, spacing, themes and shortcuts, tuned down to the pixel. Will my extensions work? Yes. Viola runs on Chromium, so your extensions, logins and web apps work exactly as before. How do Groups and Splits work? Group related tabs under one label, then snap any of them side by side for true multitasking.
