Flow is a web browser with a proprietary browser engine.[1]

Flow is developed by the Ekioh company, which has made simple browsers for set-top boxes and other embedded systems.[3]

Flow is a recent entrant to the browser market. Ekioh selected SpiderMonkey from the Mozilla project for its JavaScript engine, giving it support for JavaScript that is at parity with Firefox.[1][2] The first beta was in December 2020.[4] Ekioh is focusing on its use in embedded systems, including a beta version for the Raspberry Pi.[5][6] As of November 2023, it is still in beta.[7]
