Kazehakase (Japanese: _ja. 風博士) is a web browser for Unix-like operating systems that uses the GTK+ libraries. Like Galeon, Skipstone, and Epiphany, Kazehakase embeds the Gecko layout engine as well as GTK+ WebKit. However, the author also plans to add the ability to switch between different rendering engines (e.g. GtkHTML, Dillo, w3m).

Notable features include:
*Support for RSS as well as its Japanese variants LIRS and HINA-DI
*Drag-and-drop of browser tabs
*Mouse gestures
*Import of bookmarks from Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Application Suite, Netscape Browser, Galeon, Konqueror, and w3m; "shared bookmarks" (with XBEL)
*"Smart Bookmarks" programmable with regular expressions
*Full text search in browser history

The browser is named after the short story "Kazehakase" by Japanese author Sakaguchi Ango. Kazehakase is free software available under the GNU General Public License.
