Overview

An ordinary browser keeps a detailed diary of your life on disk: every page you visit, the cookies that keep you signed in, copies of pages and pictures, and every file you download. It is all stored in readable form, open to anyone who can reach your computer or a copy of its drive.

FreedomBrowser locks all of it inside an encrypted vault. History, bookmarks, cookies, site data, the cache, your extensions and your downloads are protected with AES-256 encryption, and nothing readable is left behind when the browser is locked or closed. Add a password, strengthen it with two-step verification from Google Authenticator or any similar app, and keep a one-time recovery key in case you ever forget it. FreedomBrowser locks itself when you step away, and a panic wipe destroys everything in an instant.

Your downloads stay protected too. PDFs, pictures, video, audio and text open right inside the browser, and an ordinary copy is exported only when you ask for one. Built on the open-source Chromium engine, FreedomBrowser is fast and works with the websites you use every day, and it installs extensions from the Chrome Web Store. Ads and trackers are blocked from the start, and there is no account, no telemetry and no cloud.
