Dedicated Media Browser

Fluid Browser is a web browser designed for watching media content in. It hides anything that’s not the video content you’re watching, giving you a distraction free experience.

Video First

The whole premise of Fluid Browser is minimise the screen footprint of your web browser when you’re watching video. Obviously if you’re in full screen then that footprint will be the whole screen, but many people have Netflix or YouTube playing while they work on other things, and that’s where Fluid Browser shines. It strips away the rest of the content on a web page, leaving you with just the video, and can float over other windows, allowing you to work without having to dedicate a large chunk of your screen to a regular web browser. You can also drag media files into the browser and use it as a regular media player.

Niche

It’s no doubt a certain type of person who would find this app useful, but for those people, it’s very useful. Be aware that it is only compatible with particular sites (like Netflix), and does not have many of the extras you’d expect with a fully featured browser.
