Introduction

Gjoa is a Firefox fork that brings power-user surfaces into the browser itself: custom vertical and horizontal tab surfaces, named workspaces, keyboard-driven navigation, session history, native blocking, site-aware dark mode, and an inspectable egress audit.

Source and releases are different

The current public source and latest published tag are both 0.4.2. The download guide links the six exact published assets, including Linux arm64 and x86_64 archives and portable AppImages. The v0.4.1 record remains available as historical release data.

Read the project by concern

• Feature guide — supported product claims and their limits.
• Release history — source state versus published artifacts.
• Manifesto — why the browser should belong to its user.
• Security — update cadence, gates, and failure modes.
• Privacy — the versioned boundary of the public egress audit.

Build from public source

The practical local build documented by the project is:

nix build .#gjoa-quickbuild --impure

Gjoa remains a work in progress. Treat versioned audits as observations of the named source state, not timeless promises about later code or third-party sites.
