Kaktus, a minimalist browser that has yet to mature

Today we have many web browsers available, personally I still do not feel comfortable with some, so I usually use firefox, chrome y TOR.

All this makes me constantly test the browsers that come out on the market, the last one I have known is Cactus, minimalist browser that it has a long way to go.

What is Kaktus?

It is possible to highlight of this browser, its excellent handling of tabs with which we can access them from an access menu, where added to the open tabs the history of the browser is observed.

Conclusions about Kaktus

kaktus

The project Cactus It is quite new, promoted by a single developer, its minimalist appearance in Linux is not very well achieved, so except for the management of tabs there is not much to highlight.

It is a browser that will probably grow, because the minimalist trend always attracts the community, it has basic features and a wide list of future functionalities, which will probably make me try it again in the immediate future.

Finally, it is recommended that we test this browser, to do tests and help it reach a great level in a short time. From the rest, congratulations to its creator, because in a short time he created a tool that has good starting wood.
