Waypoint Browser

A browser with weight, structure, and restraint.

Waypoint Browser
*A deliberate Android browser with character.*
Waypoint is a lightweight, personal Android browser designed for users who value “control, clarity, and tactile interface design” over mass-market features.
It is not built to compete with mainstream browsers — it is built to feel 'intentional'.

A Browser with Physical Presence
Waypoint embraces a "retro skeuomorphic design language", inspired by early 2010s mobile interfaces — not for nostalgia, but for usability.
* Clearly layered toolbars
* Buttons with visual weight and boundaries
* Subtle shadows, borders, and depth
* Interfaces that feel 'solid', not flat
The UI is carefully structured to communicate function at a glance.

Powered by Mozilla Gecko
Waypoint is built on "Gecko View", Mozilla’s official browser engine — not Android WebView.
This means:
* Independent browser behavior
* Full control over sessions and navigation
* Stable, standards-compliant rendering
* No reliance on system WebView updates
Gecko View allows Waypoint to remain consistent, predictable, and intentionally designed.

Focused Features, No Noise
Waypoint includes only what a browser truly needs:
* Fast page loading and navigation
* Address bar with direct URL input
* Back and forward navigation
* Basic multi-tab browsing
* Local bookmarks
No accounts.
No sync.
No feeds.
No recommendations.
Your browsing stays local and under your control.

Designed for Long-Term Use
Waypoint is built with maintainability in mind:
* Clean, structured architecture
* Explicit UI layout instead of experimental frameworks
* Minimal abstraction layers
* No unnecessary background services
This is a browser meant to be refined over time, not replaced.
