No complicated settings, no misleading warnings, no "levels" of privacy - just powerful privacy protection that works by default, in search, browsing, emails and more.

Instead of going to Chromium or anything else, we build our PC app around the performance machines provided by the operating system (like mobile phones), allowing us to remove many of the unnecessary features and clutter that have accumulated over the years. in large browsers ”.
We do not know at this time when the new browser could be released, but the first tests have already begun. In fact, according to the company, the application seems to be much faster than Google Chrome.
