Flint Browser — fast, private, batteries included. Available in two editions built from one codebase.

Flint (standard) — release anywhere

The clean, store-safe browser. Built-in ad & tracker blocking (EasyList + EasyPrivacy, network level), DNS-over-HTTPS, turbo multi-connection downloads, reader mode, private windows, HTTPS-first, zero telemetry. This build physically ships without any BitTorrent or media-grabber code.

  • Install: sudo apt install ./flint-browser-1.0.0-amd64.deb · or the AppImage · or ppa:dhiva-labs/apps

Flint Plus — power users (GitHub / PPA)

Everything in standard, plus a BitTorrent client and a direct-media downloader.

  • The media grabber only detects direct, unencrypted media a page already served; it never defeats DRM (DASH/EME ignored, protected streaming services blocklisted).
  • The BitTorrent client ships no trackers, indexes or content — a neutral tool for lawful file sharing.
  • Install: sudo apt install ./flint-browser-plus-1.0.0-amd64.deb · or the flint-browser-plus-* AppImage

Both editions install side by side (distinct app IDs and executables).

Verified: 32 unit tests + a full in-app smoke suite on each edition — real navigation, adblock, byte-exact segmented download, media-grabber sniff, and a live BitTorrent transfer over a loopback tracker (Plus); features confirmed absent in standard.
