I am not sure I understand your requirements. What functionality of
Filebrowser do you want to see? Read only or or read-write?

Firefox has (had?) FTP support, you could just run an FTP server and
connect from your normal browser.

You could use autoindex built into your web server. That'll be the
most lightweight option possible.

If these are not what you are looking for, we need details. Lots more
details.

I am looking for a file manager similar to Linux's Nautilus or
Windows' File Explorer. It should allow me to click and drag files,
move them between folders, and open a context menu with a left mouse
click. Features like playing videos and the ability to create or edit
files would be a plus. I prefer software that is not heavy or overly
feature-rich. In this regard, Filebrowser is almost perfect, but its
usability falls short for high manual workloads. For instance, it
lacks a context menu that opens with a left mouse click on a file. It
also doesn't offer a free selection area for selecting files with the
mouse. Additionally, every time a file is moved, Filebrowser redirects
the page to the target folder. This behavior is atypical and not very
useful compared to real file managers.
