Kylo is a discontinued open-source web browser developed by Hillcrest Labs for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Initially released in 2010, the browser features a 10-foot user interface, with large fonts and buttons that make it easy to see from across the room, making it especially suitable for use with a home theater PC connected directly to a high-definition television.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

In 2011, Kylo was a CES (Consumer Electronics Show) Innovations Awards honoree in the category of online audio/video content.[12]
On May 15, 2012, Kylo was released as open source software under the terms of the Mozilla Public License[13]
It was supported by the first Asus Xtion 3D depth-sensing camera, launched in spring 2012 and was included in the software bundle shipped with the camera.
The browser was abandoned after Hillcrest was acquired by CEVA in July 2019.
