Kinaya is a keyboard-first browser for macOS. Ads and trackers are blocked inside the engine (Brave's adblock-rust with EasyList and EasyPrivacy) before a request leaves, and there is no telemetry. A built-in MCP server lets Claude Code read pages, click, type and take screenshots in its own background tab, using your real logins. Also: command palette, private and Tor tabs, encrypted password vault, reader mode. $19 once, 14-day free trial.

Could you build this?
Partial The keyboard-first UI, ad-block integration and MCP server are vibe-codeable on top of an existing engine, but a real browser needs deep rendering-engine and security work the assistant can't supply alone.
What it would actually take: A practical build would wrap WebKit via WKWebView or an embedded Chromium, integrate brave's adblock-rust through FFI, and expose an MCP server that drives page actions and screenshots. The hard parts are browser-engine integration, sandboxing and privacy-correct request interception, which call for experienced macOS/browser engineers.
