Big Yahu, the Netnyahoo mascot: a glossy toy caricature of Benjamin Netanyahu in a dark suit and blue tie.

The Netnyahoo window in light mode: three pinned tiles and six tabs in the sidebar, Wikipedia’s article on Chromium open on the right.

  1. Pledge No. 01

    Dissolves the toolbar.

    Put the address bar in the sidebar. The page gets the whole window.

    Fig. 3 — Before and after

  2. Pledge No. 02

    Two pages. No coalition talks.

    Drag a tab onto the page. Up to three panes.

    Netnyahoo in split view: MDN on the left, Wikipedia on the right, both in one window.
    Fig. 4 — Split view

  3. Pledge No. 03

    Refuses to leave the picture.

    Switch tabs mid-video and it floats along in the corner. Go back, and it steps down quietly.

    Netnyahoo on Wikipedia’s article about Big Buck Bunny, while the film keeps playing in a small floating window at the bottom right. Its tab, muted, is in the sidebar, with a player at the foot of the sidebar.

  4. Pledge No. 04

    Separate profiles for separate lives.

    Each its own window. Swipe between them. Plausible deniability comes standard.

    Fig. 6 — Three profiles

  5. Pledge No. 05

    Forms a coalition with any extension.

    The Chrome Web Store, with a button that says Add to Netnyahoo.

    Dark Reader’s page on the Chrome Web Store, open in Netnyahoo, with an Add to Netnyahoo button.

  6. Pledge No. 06

    Tracks nothing you didn’t sign for. Unusual, for a man in his position.

    uBlock Origin Lite is built in. Google’s pings are compiled out. Crash reports are opt-in: no sites, no searches.

    Netnyahoo’s Privacy & Security settings: switches to block ads, trackers and cookie banners, and the number of filter rules loaded.

  1. Pledge No. 07

    Annexation, but consensual

    Imports from Chrome, Brave, Helium, Safari, Dia and Arc.

  2. Pledge No. 08

    Keeps secrets

    Passwords, passkeys and strong new ones, per profile. Better than his cabinet.

  3. Pledge No. 09

    Records travel under diplomatic seal

    Sync, end to end encrypted, through your own iCloud Drive. No account.

  4. Pledge No. 10

    Now in bulletproof glass

    Pinned tabs and the address bar in Liquid Glass, on macOS 26.

  5. Pledge No. 11

    A broad coalition of shortcuts

    Chrome’s and Dia’s. Where they disagree, Dia’s wins.

  6. Pledge No. 12

    Updates itself

    Quietly, in the background. No press conference.

  7. Pledge No. 13

    Austerity budget

    Idles under half a percent of CPU with a tab open.

The record

It’s actually Chromium.

Not WebKit. Not Electron. Every window is Chrome’s own.

for questioning

The offline page

Where’s Big Yahu?

Chrome gives you a dinosaur. We give you a room full of donors, lobbyists and very generous friends. Find him.

An early screenshot of the game: a ballroom packed with caricatured party guests, Big Yahu somewhere among them.

Press conference

Questions from the press.

Unlike some, we answer them.

Is this a joke?
The name is. The browser isn’t.
Is it safe to open?
Signed and notarized by Apple. Unlike some, it passes its background checks.
What does it collect?
Update checks are counted by version and day, and whether it’s a new copy’s first. Each launch also reads one small file, the same for everyone, so we can switch off a speed-up that misbehaves. Nothing else, unless you tick the box. Then crash reports and counts, never your sites or searches. Unlike some, we ask first.
And this website?
It counts its own visitors on its own servers, replays included, typing masked, gone after 30 days. No third party does the counting. Our only poll, and nobody massages the numbers.
Is this Dia?
No. It dresses like Dia, or like Arc if you ask.
Why “Netnyahoo”?
A browser should leave when asked. Some offices could take notes.

Election day is today

Impeach
Chrome.

Make Netnyahoo your default. 190 MB, no envelope required.
