Gollum Browser is a simplified Web browser that only opens articles from Wikipedia. Links external to Wikipedia are opened in the user's regular browser. Gollum is opened from a regular browser and makes a window that puts the Wikipedia search bar on the toolbar. Gollum was created by Harald Hanek in 2005 using PHP and Ajax.

According to one blogger, Gollum provides a way for Chinese users to access the English language of Wikipedia when the Chinese government blocks wikipedia.org[1].
