About

Basilisk is a free and Open Source XUL-based web browser, featuring the well-known Firefox-style interface and operation. It is based on the Goanna layout and rendering engine (a fork of Gecko) and builds on the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), which in turn is a fork of the Mozilla. Basilisk is a privacy-focused and lightweight browser that supports legacy add-ons and WebExtensions. It is extensible by plugins and extensions, offering tabbed browsing and no tracking. Available for Mac (64-bit), Windows (Windows 7 or later), and Linux (64-bit distros only), Basilisk is developed in the United States. User reviews vary, with some praising its support for classic add-ons and its role as an alternative to Firefox, while others criticize its security and lack of modern standards. It supports features like suggesting and voting on features and is portable.
