Windows · v1.4.13 · 933 KB

The web,
without the noise.

A featherweight browser that blocks ads, trackers, pop-ups and YouTube ads, natively, before they ever reach you. None of the sidebars, wallets, sponsored tiles or telemetry modern browsers ship with. Just a fast, quiet window onto the internet.

All the privacy. None of the bloat. None of the $60.

How the browser strips ads, explained 1.2M views

Researchers across twelve institutions have once more verified what everyone already suspected, prompting a fresh wave of headlines and very little else of substance.

Bloatless protection Flip it to watch the noise vanish

The features you actually wanted. None you didn't.

Everything is filtered before it loads, not hidden after. The rest is built in — no extensions, no accounts, no add-on store.

Ads & trackers

Ads, trackers and analytics are stopped before they ever load, so pages come up clean, light and fast, with the blank spaces they'd leave swept away too.

Pop-ups & pop-unders

New-window spam, redirect chains and the pop-unders that hide behind your tab are stopped before they appear. The links you actually click still work. The ones that open themselves don't.

YouTube ads, natively

We strip YouTube's ads and the video starts faster, with none of the lag other blockers leave you waiting through.

Per-tab VPN routing

Send a single tab around your VPN while everything else stays protected. Watch Prime Video on your real connection, in the same window, clearly marked so you always know which tabs are exposed. Works with Mullvad's split tunnelling.

Native Tor browsing

Open a Tor tab and route just that tab through the Tor network, no add-ons and no separate browser. Onion tabs are marked in purple, with stronger per-tab blocking you can dial up whenever you want it.

Device linking & sync

Link your phone and desktop in seconds: scan a QR code or enter a short pairing code. Bookmarks, history and logins then sync both ways, no account, end-to-end encrypted.

Streaming without the ads

Skips in-stream and pre-roll video ads, then fills the whole screen, edge to edge, the moment you hit fullscreen.

Cast to your TV

Mirror a tab or your whole screen to a smart TV or Chromecast on your network. It finds the device, casts in one click, and tells you plainly if the TV refuses.

Reader mode

Collapse a cluttered article down to just the words, no sidebars, no auto-playing video, no newsletter pop-over sliding in over the text. One click, gone.

Downloads, done right

A quiet download manager that shows exactly what's happening and asks before anything executable runs. No mystery toolbars, no bundled extras riding along.

Shortcuts your way

Remap every keyboard shortcut to whatever your fingers already know. New tab, address bar, hard reload, switch tabs, bind them however you like and they stick.

Pinned apps & themes

Keep your go-to web apps one click away on a slim side rail, opening beside any page instead of stealing a whole tab. Light or dark, whichever suits the room.

We left out everything you never asked for.

Modern browsers have quietly become app stores, ad networks and telemetry pipelines. Bloatless ships exactly one thing: a browser.

Tabs, history and sessions, stored locally on your machine. Your data stays on your device. It's never uploaded anywhere.

933KB The whole browser executable. It rides on the Edge engine already in Windows, so there's no second browser to ship.
0deps Nothing extra to download on Windows 10 & 11. It uses the WebView2 engine that's already part of the system.
~4MB Installed on disk, ad-blocking filter list and all. Other browsers ask for hundreds.
100% Local. History, cookies and sessions stay on your device, full stop.
Easy migration

Switching takes seconds, not an afternoon.

Native one-click import pulls your bookmarks and cookies straight from Chrome, Edge, Brave or any Chromium browser. Stay logged in, keep your tabs, lose the bloat.

Imports from Chrome Edge Brave Opera & more

Two ways to install. Both weigh almost nothing.

Windows 10 & 11, 64-bit. Uses the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime that already ships with Windows. The installer fetches it automatically if it's missing.
