NAVER Whale For Linux

Today's web browser market is without a doubt better than it ever was. Besides the most popular web browsers, you can also choose between various very interesting alternatives to perfectly suit your needs and taste.

NAVER Whale is one such interesting browser that has a lot going for it, both in terms of design and features.

First thing's first, NAVER Whale is a Chromium-based browser. This means that you can expect a browser that has all the basic features you've come to expect from a modern browser.

You get all the basic functionality such as a tabbed GUI, the ability to organize bookmarks, access history, manage extensions, an incognito mode, developer tools, and so forth

However, Whale differentiates itself from other Chromium-based products by its slightly more attractive GUI and the plethora of productivity-oriented tools it provides.

The first GUI element that stands out upon first launching the browser is the sidebar. Its main job is to provide you with a quick and unobtrusive way of accessing various tools and chat app integrations.

For example, you can access a countdown timer, a calculator, a media player, a toolbox, an audio player, or access your favorite web apps such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, YouTube, and Instagram, just to name a few.

Keywords or expressions can be translated with ease by simply dragging them, tabs can be "split" into two screens, and screenshots can be captured with a single mouse click.

Another great aspect of NAVER Whale is the fact that it's highly customizable. A quick stroll into the Settings section allows you to choose from multiple skins, adjust the sidebar display, opt for a slim or a dark mode, add various widgets and themes, and more.

Because it's based on Chromium, it should be quite clear that it has some of the latest security technologies built in. NAVER Whale protects you against fraudulent websites, alerts you when malware is detected, as well as blocks unwanted ads.

Last but not least, it also allows you to closely monitor your activity with its one-stop management of connected devices and login accounts.

NAVER Whale is an interesting alternative for users looking for a productivity-oriented browser that has very little compromise.

It has decent security features, a built-in ad blocker, some very interesting productivity tools (including the ability to split tabs, take screenshots, and a lot of little tools in the sidebar), as well as enough customization options to recommend it as a primary browser.
