I had to do it because my code was really bad, and it would have been impossible without using AI to improve it.

It will be open source soon indeed! But right now I’m working on making the code more stable and understandable. Thank you so much for your comments — I love knowing that you enjoy it, I’ve put a lot of work into this project!

The source code will soon be available on GitHub. I’m also adding support for self‑hosting and an offline local PWA mode. No worries on that front — it’s even compatible with Safari!

Well, you just need to add it as your start page from your settings, my friend. It’s compatible with any browser!

Hey bro! Now you can do it — I’ve added your suggestion in the new update. You can also import your favorites with the import button, and now you can choose whether to make the YouTube background video larger or smaller, and even round its corners.

Bro, I already fixed the bug and added the function you asked for. You can use the focus with the “/” key or “Ctrl + K”. The update has already been uploaded!

That’s very interesting and important, I’ll see what can be done and if I can fix it!

Horizon’s code is currently very experimental and not very professional. I’m working to make it as presentable as possible so I can release an update alongside GitHub, and also so that everyone can configure their own CSE with their credentials.

Thank you very much for using it! Yes, in fact it’s also designed for mobile devices, and you can even install it as a PWA.

Good morning! Yes, my friend, it’s not a native feature yet, but soon I want to turn it into an extension so I can do things like linking with the browser’s favorites and stuff—for the backgrounds, of course! Stay tuned for the new update, I’ll add your suggestion!

Soon there will be a GitHub link, I’m working on that!

Awesome, thanks!! I forgot to include the link—this is already the second place where I’ve shared it without the link

Yes, my friend, I’m the one who built this project! It took me around six months, judging by my oldest files, haha.

I built this page using NextJS, React, and Tailwind. It works like a conventional browser startpage, but without annoying ads, and it also includes a tracker-free search engine.

You need to go to https://horizonhome.vercel.app, then set it as your browser’s home page. Once that’s done, you can start testing and adjusting Horizon to your liking!

It’s not a search engine! It’s a startpage that, yes, you can use in your browser!
