Virgin 0.1.0 — first public engineering preview

Virgin is a Linux-first browser shell built with C++20, Qt 6 Widgets, and Qt WebEngine. Chromium renders pages while Virgin provides the native UI, profiles, permissions, privacy controls, blocker, history, bookmarks, sessions, and downloads.

Highlights

  • Normal, private, and isolated container profiles
  • EasyList/EasyPrivacy network and cosmetic filtering
  • YouTube-specific first-party ad cleanup
  • Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Startpage, Bing, and custom HTTPS search providers
  • Session restore, history, bookmarks, downloads, and per-site shield information
  • Hardened release build with bundled Qt 6.10.2 and Chromium 134.0.6998.208
  • GPL-3.0-or-later source license

Install on Ubuntu

Download Virgin-0.1.0-x86_64.AppImage, make it executable, and run it:

chmod +x Virgin-0.1.0-x86_64.AppImage
./Virgin-0.1.0-x86_64.AppImage
