NEW v4.0.2 — Lucid Mode & built-in extensions

Private by default. Fast by nature.

Every other browser is paid for by the ads it shows you. Privoo blocks them from the very first tab — no setup, no extensions to hunt down, no account to create. Nothing leaves your device, because there's nowhere for it to go.

01 — The problem

Chrome is Google. Edge is Microsoft. Your browser is an advertising company, and you are its inventory. Privoo isn't anybody's revenue stream.

Everyone else
  • Ads and trackers load by default — blocking them is your homework.
  • Sign in to sync, and your browsing now has a name attached to it.
  • Telemetry on by default, buried four menus deep.
  • Ten third-party extensions just to get a usable browser.
  • Pages fat with scripts you never asked to download.
Privoo
  • Ads, trackers and malware blocked before you open a single tab.
  • No account. Ever. There is nothing to sign into.
  • Zero telemetry — not "off by default", never built.
  • Nine first-party extensions, written by us, already inside.
  • Pages load lighter, because the junk never downloads.
02 — Features

A complete browser. Nothing bolted on.

The things other browsers make you install — a real content blocker, a password vault, an AI assistant, a media downloader — are simply part of Privoo. One install and you're done.

01
Privacy Shield
EasyList, EasyPrivacy and uBlock Origin, enforced at the network layer. Ads and trackers aren't hidden — they never reach your machine.
02
Lucid Mode
Hover any video and a star appears. One slider lifts clarity, colour and depth in real time — every video, on every site, instantly sharper.
03
Privoo AI
An assistant docked beside the page with a saved chat-history sidebar — powered by your own key: Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, or a local model.
04
Split View
Drag a tab onto either half of the page and it snaps into a side-by-side split. Two pages, one window, zero fuss.
05
Vertical Tabs
Move your tabs into a collapsible side rail with an icon mode, an integrated toolbar and a Spotlight-style tab search.
06
Password Vault
Encrypted, local-only credentials with autofill. Nothing is synced to a server — because there isn't one to sync to.
07
Tor & Proxy
Route your traffic through a bundled Tor circuit or your own proxy — one toggle in Settings, no config files, no terminal.
08
Profiles & Guest
Fully isolated identities — work, personal, throwaway — each with its own cookies, history and extensions. Plus a no-trace guest session.
09
Media Downloader
Save video and audio straight from the page, at the quality you pick. Powered by yt-dlp, built right into the toolbar.
03 — Under the hood

It's already working. You just can't see it.

Privoo's whole privacy stack is on before you open your first tab. No opt-in, no setup wizard, no extension to hunt down.

In the 0s you've spent on this page, a normal browser would have loaded roughly 0 trackers. Privoo would have loaded zero.
3.1

Privacy Shield

Blocking happens at the network layer, so ads and trackers aren't hidden after the fact — they never reach your machine at all. EasyList, EasyPrivacy and uBlock Origin ship enabled, and you can add any filter list of your own.

Always on
3.2

Encrypted DNS

DNS-over-HTTPS via Cloudflare, Quad9, AdGuard, NextDNS — or your own resolver. Your ISP stops getting a plaintext list of every site you visit.

On by default
3.3

Fingerprint defence

Per-origin canvas noise, User-Agent normalisation and WebRTC IP-leak protection, so the sites you visit can't quietly rebuild an identity for you out of your hardware.

On by default
3.4

Clean links

utm_*, fbclid and gclid are stripped from every URL before it loads, and referrers are minimised. Share a link without shipping your campaign trail with it.

Automatic
3.5

HTTPS-Only & cookie walls

Insecure connections are upgraded before they're made, and third-party cookies are dropped on sight. Cross-site tracking loses its foothold.

On by default
3.6

Tor & proxy routing

Route everything through a bundled Tor circuit or your own proxy, from a single toggle in Settings. No config files, no terminal, no separate app.

One toggle
04 — Built in

First-party tools. No third parties.

Nine extensions written by Privoo, shipped inside Privoo. Flip one on and it adds itself to your toolbar. No marketplace, no permissions roulette, no mystery code from a stranger.

08 — Straight answers

Questions, answered.

01 Is Privoo really free? What's the catch?
There isn't one. Privoo is free and MIT-licensed — the entire source is on GitHub and you can read every line of it. No paid tier, no "pro" upsell, no ad network quietly funding it. It's an independent project, not a business built on your attention.
02 Do you collect anything about me?
No. Privoo has no telemetry, no analytics and no crash reporting — not "disabled by default", but genuinely never built. There's no account system, so there's nothing to attach data to even in principle. Your history, bookmarks, passwords and AI chats live in a folder on your own machine.
03 Will sites break with the blocker on?
Rarely. Privoo uses the same battle-tested lists — EasyList, EasyPrivacy, uBlock Origin — that hundreds of millions of people already browse with every day. If a site does misbehave, you can toggle the shield off for that page, disable individual lists, or add your own filter list in Settings → Privacy.
04 Can I bring my bookmarks and passwords over?
Yes. Privoo imports your bookmarks on first run, and the password vault accepts a standard CSV export from Chrome, Edge, Firefox or your password manager. Everything you import is stored encrypted, locally.
05 Does the AI send my browsing to someone?
Only what you explicitly ask it about, and only to the provider you chose, using your own API key — Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, or a local Ollama model that never leaves your machine. Privoo runs no AI server of its own in the middle, and your key is encrypted on disk.
06 Is it Chromium-based? Will my extensions work?
Yes — Privoo is built on Electron and Chromium, so sites render exactly as they do in Chrome, with none of the tracking. You can load unpacked and .crx extensions from the Extensions page, and full third-party extension support is on the roadmap.
07 How do I get updates?
Automatically. Privoo checks for new releases and updates itself in the background — you'll just find a note in Privoo News telling you what changed. That page is rendered locally from the build you already have; it never phones home for content.
08 Can Privoo make me anonymous?
No browser can, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling something. Privoo blocks ads and trackers, hardens your fingerprint, and can route you through Tor — which dramatically reduces what gets collected about you. But real anonymity depends on your whole setup, not just your browser. We'd rather be honest than market a guarantee we can't keep.
v4.0.2 — out now

Stop being the product.
