Silo Browser

A desktop browser built with Electron that organizes web apps into session-isolated groups. Each group maintains its own cookies, localStorage, and session data, letting you run multiple accounts on the same service simultaneously.

Key Features

• Session isolation: Every group has fully independent storage (cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB, cache)
• Tab management: Drag-and-drop reordering with child tabs scoped to the parent app
• Custom user-agent: Configure per group for different browsing identities
• Notification badges: Unread count indicators across your groups
• Audio control: Per-tab muting with visual indicators
• Configuration portability: Import/export settings as JSON
• Cross-platform: macOS, Windows, and Linux support
• Full OAuth & pop-up support: Works seamlessly with authentication flows

Why Electron?

Electron was chosen for its native session partitioning via session.fromPartition(), consistent Chromium rendering across platforms, and built-in favicon events. Alternatives like Tauri lack unified session APIs, while CEF requires complex cleanup procedures.
